Here is an affordable card to add to your Black Sox collection, from the 1910 T218 "Champions" set Abe Attell


Attell was accused of being the messenger between the gangster Rothstein and players of the Chicago White Sox baseball organization, during the planning stages of the fix of the 1919 World Series. Attell denied having been involved in any talks about fixing the series and convinced the jury that the wrong Abe Attell was accused. He also has cards in the 1948 Leaf "Boxing Greats" set, and Topps 1951 "Ringside" set. eBay has plenty of his cards in collector grades for under $20.
