Graded GOOD 2 by GAI. Presented is the key card, Honus Wagner, from the 1910 E90-2 American Caramel set. This very scarce set was regionally issued in the Pittsburgh area, and features only members of the Pirates, the National League champions of the previous year. This is one of Honus Wagner's most striking cards, and features a portrait image reminiscent of the pose on his famous T206 card. the offered example displays bold colors, a crisp image, and even wear at the corners (more in the lower right). There is light surface wear visible along with an ink spot that bleeds through to the back and would cause us to grade this card more conservatively. The reverse is centered to the bottom, with the aforementioned ink spot visible. Despite these flaws, this remains a very presentable example of this card, which is universally recognized as among the most classic and popular of all 1910-era Honus Wagner cards. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,500++.
