I have one to sell!
The 200-card 1917 Collins-McCarthy "Baseball's Hall of Fame" issue is the company's only non-PCL set. Printed on thin stock and featuring black and white player photos with a thick gloss surface the set is loaded with stars and Hall of Famers and has become incrediblly popular among collectors in recent years due to player selection and scarcity. The glossy surfaces are also subject to wear resulting in some condition-sensitivity that makes high-grade examples difficult to obtain. We have obtained a large assortment of cards from the issue including many of the keys. Recognizing the difficulty of obtaining individual cards from the set we have elected to offer them card-by-card in an effort to help individual player and type collectors obtain more affordable examples for their collections rather than grouping them in large lots to sell to the highest bidder. Rarely does such a large assortment from the issue appear at auction and it is our privilege to offer them here. One of the more desirable cards in the Collins-McCarthy issue featuring popular White Sox infielder Buck Weaver who would later be banned for life from the game for his participation in fixing the 1919 World Series. Graded VG/EX 4 by SGC the card appears more sharp than the grade would suggest the centering being the primary reason for the lower grade. Regardless a strong specimen one of the finest among the collection of E135 cards offered in this auction.
