Despite the fact that Baseball's Hall of Fame was not established until some time later and despite the fact that the 1917 Collins-McCarthy issue included many common players from the era the candy company saw fit to describe its baseball card set as "comprising Baseball's Hall of Fame." The San Francisco-based candy company would produce just one set featuring non-PCL players and the cards are considered more scarce and desirable today. This example featuring Frank "Home Run" Baker actually does depict a future member of the Hall of Fame and has been graded VG+ 3.5 by PSA. An exceptional card from an interesting regional issue.
