It is one of the 1925-31 PC back cards. It is the second of three Hornsby cards. There are five cards with card front legend variations (Cobb, Frisch, Rouch [sic], Peckinpaugh and Hornsby) that have update labels pasted on them to reflect trades. Hornsby’s original card shows him with the Cardinals and the relabeled card shows him with Boston, a trade that took place after the 1927 season. Hornsby’s third card shows him with the Cubs and is quite difficult to find, I suspect because by 1929 he was a part-time player and the card may have been pulled after a relatively short print run. If I had to estimate it I would say that the Hornsby Boston card is the easiest of the three to find and that the Chicago card is the toughest.
