Item Description
One of few known examples. 1.75". Missing St. Louis Button Co. back paper.

The Cardinals would defeat the New York Yankees 4-3 to win the 1926 World Series. Hornsby would gain election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1942. Moderate oxidation on metal back. Front has dark staining of brown bkg. rim and few other imperfections on the bkg. but image unaffected and shows only minor wear upon magnification. All remains glossy and image sharp and distinct.
