Future Hall of Fame Pirates outfielder Max "Scoops" Carey led the National League in stolen bases so many times (10), I bet local fans stopped counting. He played the role of prototypical leadoff outfielder in Pittsburgh for almost two decades and modern fans would compare him to Tim Raines and Kenny Lofton.

This BVG 1 (poor) grade reflects its corner wear, creases, and dark spots on front and back.

Our current auction features several E220 "National Caramel" singles. This set features some of the best card photography of that era and its accepted 1921-23 date range reflects when players appeared on their named teams. The set followed a phased release in the Pennsylvania-Ohio region and "National Caramel" backs prove somewhat tougher to find today than related E121 "American Caramel" or E210 "York Caramel" backs.
