Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction February 2025
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/18/2025
A small set consisting of ten (10) cards, each measuring approximately 1-3/8” x 3-1/4” and not numbered, the W551 release of 1921 were printed in strips, with each front revealing a color drawing of a National Pastime hero. Including names such as Frank Baker, Dave Bancroft, Jess Barnes, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Wally Pipp, Babe Ruth, George Sisler, Tris Speaker and Casey Stengel in its checklist, offered here is this copy of Ty Cobb's 1921 W551 example. Picturing "The Georgia Peach" over the front in what seems to be a follow through of a swing, the card has been deemed worthy of an ENM 6 designation after being inspected by KSA. Sporting overall pleasing centering as well as good colours and corners that retain some sharpness despite being over a hundred years old, the card is housed in a good condition KSA holder that shows just some light imperfections over each side which are worth mentioning for accuracy.
It must be noted that the grading standards followed by KSA may not correspond to those currently employed by PSA, BGS or SGC. The outcome of an attempted cross-over of this lot through any of those services, then, would be uncertain and cannot be guaranteed.
