Lot # 130: 1911 T205 Gold Border Collection (43) with Fred Clarke & John McGraw

“OBC” loyalists will enjoy the offered 1911 T205 Gold Border collection of (43) cards featuring a pair of Hall of Famers. These 114-year-old cards are low-grade with each having sustained acute wear including severe creasing and brittle foundations along with the vast majority displaying paper loss/residue, pin/punch holes, trimming and/or writing. Unless noted, each relic is flanked by a common advertising back. Subjects include: (2) Ames, Austin, Bates, Bell, Bescher, Birmingham, Clarke (PR), Devlin, (2) Dygert, Fletcher, Fromme, Harmon (Boths Ears Show), Hartsel, Hauser, Jacklitsch, D. Jones, T.

Note: Our consignor was an "OBC" collector (a hobby organization that emphasizes completion rather than condition), as such, multiple cards in this collection may be extremely low-grade.
