What is this Exhibit??? PSA said it is a 1928, unless the seller (or predecessor) has tinkered with it...<br /><br />Frank.<br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Hornsby is with the Cardinals as he tags out Babe Ruth to end the 1926 World Series, game 7, top of the 9th.... Then Hornsby leaves and Frisch arrives.<br /><br />So by 1928 Hornsby is long gone. Hence the paper paste over?

Posted By: <b>boxingcardman</b><p>It is one of the 1925-31 PC back cards. It is the second of three Hornsby cards. There are five cards with card front legend variations (Cobb, Frisch, Rouch [sic], Peckinpaugh and Hornsby) that have update labels pasted on them to reflect trades. Hornsby’s original card shows him with the Cardinals and the relabeled card shows him with Boston, a trade that took place after the 1927 season. Hornsby’s third card shows him with the Cubs and is quite difficult to find, I suspect because by 1929 he was a part-time player and the card may have been pulled after a relatively short print run. If I had to estimate it I would say that the Hornsby Boston card is the easiest of the three to find and that the Chicago card is the toughest.
