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 shortstop Joe Tinker 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 Sweet Caporal card surviving in desirable EX-MT 6 condition. It was slabbed several years ago, with an EX-MT 6 not even showing up on the Tinker Hands on Knees Sweet Caporal 350/30 line of the PSA Population Report, if you follow, and one EX 5 being tops. Another wondrous card for serious T206 collectors to consider.
