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. Tremendous card of the popular Hall of Famer pictured with Cleveland the team he would manage to the World Series in 1920. Graded FAIR 1.5 by SGC the card suffers from a heavy corner crease at the top right as well as some stray surface wrinkles one of which traverses across the center of the card from left to right giving the card its grade. Little of this interferes with the exceptional eye appeal of the card however one of the keys to the issue and certainly the most desirable card in this grouping of Boston Store cards we are offering here.
