chase with loving cup and the story behind it might be my favorite card of the T206 set…plus I think it gives us some perspective of the perception of the times in that he had more different poses than any other player.
From a LOTG auction description:
This example, the "holding trophy" variation, depicts Chase receiving a silver "loving cup," a gift given to him at his 1909 debut after he spent several weeks in the hospital, suffering from a mild form of smallpox.
