T206 - Cards with non-baseball / bat objects
I've been looking at this set and I saw a Hal Chase with a Trophy. Not sure what that represents.
Are there any other T206 cards with non-baseball / glove / bat objects in the design?

Chase
My understanding is that Hal Chase came down with smallpox in early 1909 and almost died. When he recovered and rejoined the team later in the year, the fans presented him with a 'loving cup' to show their support in welcoming him back. There aren't any other cards anything like it in the T206 set.
Due to scarring from the smallpox welts Chase was no longer the 'pretty boy' he was earlier in his career when the photos from his Portrait poses were originally taken. Thus his face on the Trophy pose looks quite different from the Portraits.
