Not quite Tinker to Evers to Chance...
The latest addition to my steadily growing T202 collection.
The Philadelphia Athletics infield, featuring Hall of Famers Frank "Home Run" Baker and Eddie Collins, as well as Harry Davis and Jack Barry.
This is the core of the group that would come to be known as the $100,000 infield starting in 1911, when a younger Stuffy McIinnis replaced Harry Davis at first base. It's my belief that McInnis should have gotten more Hall of Fame consideration than he received.
I got a great price on this, as the little "47" stamp on the middle panel's back lowered the overall score. The card itself is quite beautiful though.
