High-grade "back view" pose of one of the era's more popular players Frank "Wildfire" Schulte. Nicknamed "Wildfire" due to his infatuation with actress Lillian Russell who performed in a play with the same name and his subsequent naming of one of his racehorses "Wildfire." A power hitter Schulte clubbed 21 home runs in 1911 leading the National League. The higest-graded SGC example of this front/back combination as well as the highest-graded SGC Schulte T206 card period. Population Data SGC Population: 49 total graded 1 at this level 0 higher PSA Population: 87 total graded 0 at this level 1 higher* *Please note that PSA just recently began to differentiate between T206 back variations in their population reports so it is entirely possible that other examples of this card may have been graded by PSA and classified in their pop reports as "unknown back."
