Chief Bender Cabinet Card Original c.1900 Pre Rookie
This 5 1/4" X 6 1/2" card is of a 17 year old Chief Bender and an unknown catcher circa 1901 playing for the Carlisle Indian Industrial School team, just 2 years before he signed to play with Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics.

Came from an original private collection which featured all Indian heritage players from the 1800's and early 1900's.

The earliest image of Chief Bender (Charles Albert Bender) to exist and an extremely rare image - which is stronger than our scan with the original cabinet backing in superb condition with no tears or markings.
With large populations of Bender tobacco cards available for $2,500 to $5,000 and up, we believe this item be much more rare and an item for the true collector - and have priced the item accordingly - we rate this item a strong 5+.
We guarantee this item to be 100% original - so buy with confidence.

Bender Bio
After graduating from Carlisle Indian Industrial School, Bender went on to a stellar career as a starting pitcher from 1903 to 1917, primarily with Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics (though with stints at the end of his career with the Baltimore Terrapins of the short-lived Federal League, the Philadelphia Phillies, and the Chicago White Sox).
Over his career, his win-loss record was 212-127, for a .625 winning percentage (a category in which he would lead the American League in three seasons). His talent was even more noticeable in the high-pressure environment of the World Series: in five trips to the championship series, he managed six wins and a 2.44 ERA. In the 1911 Series, he pitched three complete games, which set the record for most complete games pitched in a six-game series. He also threw a no-hitter in 1910.
Bender was voted into the Hall of Fame in 1953, less than one year before his death. In 1981, Lawrence Ritter and Donald Honig included him in their book The 100 Greatest Baseball Players of All Time.
