Scarce example of this attractive card depicting Hall of Famer Joe Tinker at the tail end of his swing.  Equally interesting about the card is the presence of Tinker's glove in his back pocket, a long-forgotten habit of major leaguers during the turn of the century.  The Croft's Cocoa reverse adds to the card's desirability that the ad provides.  As is the case with many examples from the issue, this is off-center, which factors into the grade assessed by SGC.  The card is quite pleasing to the eye, however, with a rich, red background, and corner wear consistent with a higher-grade.  Contributing to the grade is a small, blue ink mark on the card reverse, visible but not disruptive.
