Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/19/2023
An intriguing offering here features one-third of the Chicago Cubs’ double play combination that led to a lamenting New York writer’s “Tinkers-to-Evers-to-Chance” line in “Baseball’s Sad Lexicon” poem, with 2nd baseman Johnny Evers and his famous infield mates reportedly turning their first double play in September of 1902. The Cubs were a dynasty by the time T206 cards were issued, (World Series champs in 1907 and 1908), with this Sovereign Cigarettes 350 back example of Evers' "With Bat, Chicago On Shirt" card surviving in desirable EX-MT 6 condition. A stunning Pop-1 highest graded example of this back, the card, inspected and slabbed many many moons ago, presents with stunning colours over the front and an image that is fairly well centered, off a bit from right-to-left. With only light wear at all four corners and a clean front, the reverse shows a couple of light spots that is worth making mention of. housed in an older style SGC holder, a small number of light scratches and scuffs are observed over both sides that are worth mentioning for accuracy.
