Visually appealing example of one of the most famous cards of the 1910 era: Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Famer Honus Wagner from the very popular M116 Sporting Life series. This card is popular on many counts, including the fact that the portrait is so similar in appearance to the famous T206 Wagner and dates from the same era. Wagner, of course, is one of the key cards of the series. The offered card has bright colors, superb image clarity, and strong corners. The advertising on the reverse for Sporting Life is printed boldly in blue. Encapsulated as Authentic by PSA to being trimmed along multiple edges. This is an attractive example in a very desirable and relatively affordable grade of one of Honus Wagner's most classic cards. Opening Bid $10.
