Boss Schmidt went 7-44 (.159) in his 14 career World Series games, while Detroit lost three consecutive Series from 1907-1909 with Schmidt behind the plate. Nevertheless, Schmidt looks incredibly confident in this portrait of the Tigers catcher in front of a solid red background. Schmidt, himself, is positioned to the west of the frame, giving the illusion of the card's centering being off, but the centering is actually beautiful, as each of the four borders are consistent. Soft corners and some light staining on the Piedmont back keep this example from a higher holder.
