As the first major cardboard issue of the twentieth century, samples from the 1903 E107-1 Breisch Williams designation are in constant demand. Graded 1.5 Fair by SGC. The offered Chief Zimmer is one of only 11 total copies judged by the grading service. The Ohio native was regarded as "the finest defensive catcher of his day" over a 13-year career. Despite a combination of surface scratches and abrasion, the portrait is still immediately clear. The "One of a hundred and fifty prominent Baseball players" back is clean with dark typeface.
