This SGC VG 3 grade for Wilminton's John Cooper follows from those slightly rounded corners, strong player photo, centering pushed northward, and a bit of ink loss on the back. It's an otherwise clean and intimate look inside a stadium that used chicken wire as foul ball protection. Combined population reports show just one at SGC and four more at PSA.

This black-and-white, 200+ card T209 "photo series" set stands out as one of the largest ever featuring minor league players, yet is obscure enough to be rarely seen or discussed. Love of the Game is excited to offer a sizable number of singles in this auction, freshly graded and new to the hobby. (If these photos originate with the teams themselves, we're also looking at contemporary stadiums and grandstands from that era.)
