The SGC PR 1 grade for this Frank Chance reflects surface marks, centering westward, and a bump on each edge. As stated on the grading label, Colgan's Chips issued this set of round player portraits across three seasons. Their small size reduced surviving examples and the SGC population report shows just 20 total graded.

A true symbol of early 20th century baseball, Frank Chance played every facet of the game well, augmenting that success by managing Chicago to four NL pennants and a pair of World Series wins. His .664 winning percentage as a manager ranks among the all-time elite, even if the franchise itself waited over a century after Chance's 1908 title for another.
