Black Sox cards remain in high demand and this is a great opportunity to lock up one of those implicated players on cards released as the event itself unfolded. The three year span for W514 strip cards perfectly covers the thrown 1919 World Series, a 1920 season of swirling rumors, and then 1921 banishment of those eight men, including Swede Risberg. It must have been a rollercoaster rush for someone like Risberg, who was just 24 in 1919.

Since W514 strip cards encouraged trimming and shaping with scissors, the PSA AUTHENTIC grade reflects that handiwork from an early collector. The remainder of its front image is clean and strong, with a bit of wet ink transfer on the reverse from what appears to be the same image on its front.
