Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2021

With both an image and a grade that will have you smiling when it arrives is this curious and scarce card depicting the backside of Hall of Famer Frank Chance. We suppose that one could consider the depiction an action shot(!) of the Chicago Cubs' player-manager. Issued by Croft and Allen Company of Philadelphia with the firm's bold logo on the reverse looking like it did upon release, this inviting specimen has been examined and graded EX 5 by SGC. That company's statistics reveal that no other similar Chance card has ever been assessed higher, with one other EX 5 also topping the (only) four others. PSA numbers tell of just six such examples ever landing at their headquarters, with two VG-EX 4s leading that contingent. Please view our consignor's other Tinkers, Evers and Chance cards which constitute tantalizing opportunities.
