The PC796 issue is one of the most visually appealing and widely
collected postcard sets featuring baseball players of the period. Issued
in 1910 by an unknown manufacturer, this set mirrors the Novelty
Cutlery postcard set and uses many images seen in different baseball
card and baseball supplement sets.
Graded a VG 3 by SGC, this example depicts Chicago's Orval Overall in a brilliant pose with his leg kicked high and
ready to hurl a baseball. Though centering is slightly northwest on the canvas, this card does not have any major flaws and
its only real imperfection is a little staining.
The postally unused reverse is clean and bright. Overall this is a superb PC796 postcard with a brilliant action pose.
SGC has
only ever graded 15 total examples of this 1910 PC796 postcard, with
only TWO receiving a higher grade than the VG 3 offered
here of Orval Overall.
