Presented is an attractive sample card from the 1908 American League Publishing Company Postcard series featuring Hall of Famer Napoleon Lajoie. Lajoie is pictured in a fielding pose on the front of the postcard, with a small portrait in an oval alongside and biographical information at the bottom. Graded POOR 10 by SGC due to paper loss at the upper right corner and a rubber stamped name on the reverse, the card maintains a superb overall visual appeal. A crisp image, light corner wear, and a boldly printed traditional postcard reverse. This is a very presentable sample card from this rare issue that would be a worthy addition to any advanced postcard, Hall of Fame, or type-card collection. Reserve $300. Estimate $500++.
