Prewar Baseball - 1910s and 1920s Cards

Extremely desirable example of one of the key cards from this rare and popular 25-card sepia-tone postcard set, featuring Ty Cobb shaking hands with Honus Wagner (misspelled as "Honas") during the 1909 World Series. This image is recognized as one of the best to ever appear on a baseball card. The offered card displays honest corner wear and light moisture stains front and back. Graded GOOD+ 2.5 by SGC, the card has no writing on its traditional postcard reverse. This is a very appealing example featuring two of the era's legendary stars, from one of the rarest and most popular of all postcard issues. Dimensions: 3.5 x 5.5 inches. Opening Bid $2,000.
