Outstanding card of Hall of Fame pitcher "Smiling" Mickey Welch. Just the third pitcher in baseball history to amass 300 wins Welch was elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee in 1973 his 307-210 record impossible to deny. His .800 winning percentage in 1885 was the result of a 44-11 record his 1.66 ERA in 492 innings pitched simply an amazing athletic feat regardless of era. Scrpit example of card 486-3 graded POOR 1 by SGC due largely to dirt and pencil writing on the reverse as well as some damage to the lower-right corner and what appears to be stray pencil markings at the upper-right. The image quality is strong however with minimal fading and above-average contrast. A key card of a Hall of Fame pitcher.
