An eventual team vice president Clarke remained with the Pirates well into the 1920s.Represented here on his T3 Turkey Red cabinet with the only major league team he ever knew Clarke"s image is splendid with very minor wear about the edges. The card"s greatest flaw is rounded corners along with some more pronounced chipping of the surface at the bottom right corner as well as some visible wear on the card reverse (which features the 1-75 checklist and is otherwise clean).
