The 1922 W503 set is extraordinarily rare.  Just over 100 examples of the 64-card set have ever been graded.  Though the cards carry the "W" designation, the true method of distribution is speculated to have been along with candy or gum.  The cards measure 1 3/4" x 2 3/4", and feature sharp, black and white photography - another of the more attractive 1920s black and white issues, and certainly one of the less plentiful.  The cards are extraordinarily rare, in most cases no more than one or two examples of each subject have been graded, with most at the low end of the grading scale.

Presented here is an extraordinary mid grade specimen of Hall of Famer Zack Wheat.  The highest-graded example of three they have assessed, this is one of just four cards of any player to have attained a grade of EX/NM, with one lone NM example of Art Fletcher's card graded higher.  PSA has graded none higher than EX 5.  A special card of an important Hall of Famer from a rare issue.
