Presented is a rarely offered W600 Sporting Life cabinet of legendary Hall of Famer Honus Wagner. This is a spectacular example of one of the most impressive of all Wagner cards. W600 Sporting Life cabinet cards have always been held in high esteem by advanced collectors and are universally recognized as among the most substantial, highest-quality baseball card sets ever issued. Two poses of Wagner were issued in W600: in uniform and in street clothes. The offered in-uniform pose is a particularly noteworthy card as it features the same pose as the famous T206 Wagner. Wagner's distinctive image is virtually flawless on the offered example with outstanding photo contrast. Graded FAIR 20 by SGC due to a tack hole at the top. It is otherwise in Vg-Ex condition. This is an exceptionally attractive example of one of Honus Wagner's rarest and most striking cards, and one that would be a significant addition to any serious Hall of Fame or prewar card collection. Opening Bid $10,000.
