Graded GOOD 2 by PSA. Exceptionally attractive and newly discovered example of Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Famer Honus Wagner from the classic Cracker Jack series. This is one of Wagner's most striking and popular cards. Cards from the 1915 series were available directly from the company by mail in a complete "factory set" as well as within boxes of Cracker Jack. The presence of caramel staining on the offered example would suggest that it was originally packaged in one of the boxes. The "Flying Dutchman" is one of the big four key cards in the set, along with Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, and Joe Jackson. This card displays vibrant colors, a strong image, outstanding centering, and light wear at the corners. At first glance, it presents far stronger than suggested by its assigned grade, but a few light wrinkles within the delicate stock, coupled with the light staining, contributes to its rating. The reverse is boldly printed. This is a remarkable, fresh-to-the-hobby example of one of prewar card collecting's most popular and classic cards. Opening Bid $10.
