Default SOLD Honus Wagner "The Greatest Baseball Picture Ever Painted"

I've searched ever major auction house's history and can't find another.

Obviously it's not quite the value or size of the original painting, $48K:

https://robertedwardauctions.com/auc...-ever-painted/

....but a nice spinoff of it, dates to the late 1920's to late 1930's I believe.

Oh and looks like Net54's very out Carlton found one of these at the 2005 National for $150:

https://www.sportsantiques.com/05natpg4.htm

"The scene is laid in the famous Polo Grounds in New York City. The contending teams are the New York "Giants" and the Pittsburgh "Pirates" of the National League. A "Pirate" batter has "bunted" the ball and is on his way to "first." "Honus" Wagner, one of the most famous baseball players of the present generation, tries to "steal" home from "third." But the ever alert Christy Mathewson, the great "Giant" pitcher, retrieves the ball and hurls it to catcher Meyers, the noted Indian player. The expression of umpire Klem's face scarcely requires the motion of his hand to indicate to the thrillingly interested spectators that he is saying "Yer Out." So vividly is the scene portrayed that one can almost hear the tremendous swell of sound as the immense throng of "fans" rise to their feet to cheer and wildly wave hats and canes."

This fan shows the Honus Wagner sliding into Chief Meyers in a smaller-sized version of "Yer Out!", unfortunately leaves out Christy Mathewson, but a neat item none-the-less.

Side-pieces of Honus Wagner don't come by too often, so don't miss out!

Size: approx. 14" x 7"

$125 shipped (Paypal F&F or personal check)
