Extremely rare 1914 B18 "Red Infield" variation of "Moriarity, Detroit A. L." The "Red Infields" have always been revered for their extreme rarity. Most collectors have never even seen one.

This is one of an amazing group of four B18 "Red Infield" blankets, including Ty Cobb, presented in this auction. Bright and clean (a small area of staining is visible near the waist), with a crisp image and exceptional centering. In overall Excellent to Mint condition. SOLD FOR $3,000
