Item Description
1-7/16x2-5/8". 1909-11 T206 Baseball is called "The Monster" for good reason. It's one of the most widely-collected sets of any era. T206 also contains the single most famous card in the hobby, one recognized even by non-collectors. While most cards are easily obtained, the release has some very scarce options, with 16 back varieties in all, that are led by the nearly-mythical Honus Wagner card. Hal Chase (1883-1947) was a major league first baseman for teams including the Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds and New York Giants and 1916 National League batting champion. Chase was accused of throwing games and he was blackballed from the major leagues in 1919 and effectively thrown out of organized baseball by 1921.
