Nice to see a real red Hindu Chase.

Several years ago I sold a T206 Chase on ebay. At the time I was writing little bios of the players depicted in the auction ads. I really laid it on thick about what a louse Hal was. Kind of embarrassing when the winner turned out to be Harold Chase III, Hal's grandson.

I doubt if he learned much new from reading your auction description.

Many, if not most, casual baseball fans or non prewar collectors have never heard of Hal Chase beyond maybe having heard the name. To illustrate the magnitude of star that he must have been, I point out that he is the only player with five different cards in the T206 set - more than even the legendary Ty Cobb.
