Graded VG/EX 4 by SGC (submitted by REA). Superb mid-grade example of Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Harry Smith from the very popular W600 Sporting Life cabinet-card set. Extremely bright and crisp, with even corner wear and outstanding image quality. The blank reverse has light staining along the left and right sides. W600 Sporting Life cabinet cards were available only by mail and they are universally recognized as among the most substantial and highest-quality baseball-card sets ever issued. This is an outstanding sample that would be a significant addition to any W600 or prewar-card collection. Reserve $300. Estimate (open).
