Graded PR 1 by SGC. Hall of Famer. This admirable collectible takes the form of a sharply detailed, black-and-white photograph from 1913. Its crisply resolved image presents the entire Cleveland American League team, with players including Napoleon Lajoie and "Shoeless" Joe Jackson prominently illustrated. The athletes' features are crystal clear, with exceptional contrast. The illustration is printed on fragile photo stock that is notoriously susceptible to damage from even the lightest handling, and this specimen exhibits physical distress primarily through a top-left-corner stain and material cracks in surface gloss that only slightly impede the image's projection quality. This is a visually energizing example of a much-coveted rarity, in strictly assessed Poor condition.
