Another Chase added to the “Bad Boy” display. Good deals can be found on eBay still, even though much is overpriced , then tax and shipping tacked on, but this one was right in the zone.

Nice game card. If you don't already have it, you might consider his Tom Barker card. I prefer the Tom Barker of Chase, which features a different photo showing him in a black Chicago White Sox uniform, which for a bad boy is very fitting. The bonus is that Hal was traded to the White Sox on June 1st, 1913, which identifies the Tom Barker set being produced after the National Game set, being that Hal's National Game card features him in a New York Yankees outfit, the team he was on from the beginning of his MLB career and up until June 1st, 1913.

Thanks for the tip Brian…..I’ll check the “usual” places and see if I can find one as I agree, it’s a more head on or chest image than the National Card. I wonder, was he in the 1914 Polo Grounds card set?

Hal Chase is not in the Polo Grounds set...Tom Barker it is for you!
