Uncatalogued Pre-War Hall of Famer! Circle the bases with Frank "Home Run" Baker on this possibly unique 1912 J=K Candy example. Perfect for the Cooperstown themed Type enthusiast, this candy box survivor is presently uncatalogued and the only known in the hobby. The Trappe, Maryland resident places a tight grip on his weapon of choice that displays moderate obverse creasing and is neatly cut. The reverse displays vintage pencil writing and adhesive marks from placement in a photo album. Despite those flaws, this century-old specimen presents nicely and is ideal for the advanced collector. Produced by J. Koenigsberg of New York. How many cards from this set have you ever seen?
