From the granddaddy of all baseball card issues comes this T206 White Border Home Run Baker card, one of many key cards from the legendary set, found here in a PSA 2.5 holder. Baker was one of the premier stars of the Dead Ball era, leading the league in home runs from 1911-14, a period when the totals were modest. The card provides a handsome presentation with the pastel blue and green background that effectively sets off the Baker image. This example has decent centering and only slightly rounded corners; the Sweet Caporal 350/30 Back is similarly impressive, with crisp red printing.
