Graded EX 60 by SGC. High-grade example of this early classic card of Hall of Famer Charles Comiskey issued during his playing days. As first-baseman/manager of the St. Louis Browns of the American Association, Comiskey led the Browns to AA League Championships in 1885, 1886, and 1887. Bright, crisp, and clean with a striking portrait image, and vibrant colors. Four strong corners showing light touches of wear at the tips and light chipping along the right edge. This is a very attractive high-grade example of one of Charles Comiskey's most popular cards and one of the few dating from his playing days. Reserve $300. Estimate $500+.
