Default Frank "Home Run" Baker framed photo, signature, Willard's and E120

If you are a Home Run Baker collector this one is for you. Here is a circa 1920 original Type 1 photo (PSA/DNA LOA), a 1923 Willard's Chocalates (SGC 70, Ex+ 5.5, now raw) a 1922 American Caramel Co. E120 (SGC 10 Poor 1, now raw, front excellent but paper missing on back) and a clipped signature from a check (Mrs. Baker would honor auto requests with a clipped check after Frank's death) all framed in a period frame behind premium Tru View Museum Glass for UV protection and crystal clear display.

It is not often you will find an original photo of a HOFer that was used for a prewar card set. The photo is chipped in the corner and does a slight wave to it, although it does display well. The items are mounted to the mat with conservation corners so that no adhesive touches the items.

I would prefer to trade this framed piece for unusual Chief Bender items, Rotograph postcards, or a HM Taylor Ty Cobb postcard, but given the paucity of such items I would sell for xxxx obo.

PM me with any questions or offers.
