The 200-card 1917 Collins-McCarthy "Baseball's Hall of Fame" issue is the company's only non-PCL set. Printed on thin stock and featuring black and white player photos with a thick gloss surface the set is loaded with stars and Hall of Famers and has become incrediblly popular among collectors in recent years due to player selection and scarcity. The glossy surfaces are also subject to wear resulting in some condition-sensitivity that makes high-grade examples difficult to obtain. We have obtained a large assortment of cards from the issue including many of the keys. Recognizing the difficulty of obtaining individual cards from the set we have elected to offer them card-by-card in an effort to help individual player and type collectors obtain more affordable examples for their collections rather than grouping them in large lots to sell to the highest bidder. Rarely does such a large assortment from the issue appear at auction and it is our privilege to offer them here. Strong and sharp example a lengthy vertical crease down the entirety of the card is responsible for the GD 2 grade an accurate assessment that understates the eye appeal of the card.
