Similar to the Collins-McCarthy issue we featured in our Summer 2020 catalog the issue catalogued as H801-8 utilizes the same 200-card base set (though some variations are known within the Collins-McCarthy issue) a clean and stark black and white photographic issue similar in design to a number of other sets released in the early 1920s. Featuring promotional advertising for a Chicago department store the cards are very scarce and desirable today. We have obtained a large assortment of cards from the set including several of the keys. Recognizing the difficulty of obtaining individual cards from the issue we have elected to offer them card-by-card in an effort to help individual player and type collectors to 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 pleasure to offer them here. Outstanding example graded EX 5 but with sharp corners and a clean image. It is likely that some light smudging near the bottom-right corner is responsible for keeping the card from grading higher though the card would certainly not look out of place with a half-grade or even full-grade bump. One of the finest we have seen for the issue.
