Outfielder George Schirm closed out his (known) pro career with Oakland in 1913, garnering this rare team card in the process. Its SGC AUTH grade assumes trimming to at least one border, likely the tight space around his feet. Examples prove to hard to find in any condition that PCL and type collectors should be especially interested.
Love of the Game offers a number of singles from scarce and desirable PCL sets in our auction and this 1913 Oaks team issue proves one of its toughest, with even collector grade examples showing high demand. While visually similar to contemporary Zeenut PCL cards, this set's method of distribution is lost to history. Combined population reports show fewer than 40 total examples for this entire set, making any player a very difficult and desirable type card!
