Terrific Type I news service photograph of Maximilian George Carnarius (Carey), affectionately known as "Scoops." Max Carey famously led the National League in stolen bases on ten separate occasions over his Hall of Fame career, owning the all-time mark until Lou Brock surpassed him in 1974. A fresh to the hobby 6" x 8" photo of Carey in a fielding pose prior to a contest with the Giants at the Polo Grounds. Photo boasts superb image quality and remains in excellent overall condition with Wide World credit stamping applied to verso. Part of a much larger series of images shot by Wide World depicting the World Champion 1925 Pirates in various poses. A grouping of 25 such photos previously sold in our Spring 2022 Premier Auction but did not include the two Max Carey photos (one batting, one fielding) offered in our current 2024 Fall Premier Auction. Authenticated and encapsulated as a Type I photo by PSA/DNA.
