Visually strong 114 year-old tobacco card featuring HOF pitcher Addie Joss. Joss was one of the best dead-ball era hurlers, among the all-time leaders in career WHIP (1st) and ERA (2nd). His career was cut short in mid-stream in 1911 having contracted tuberculous meningitis just as the season was getting underway. He was only 31 and had already compiled 160 wins over 9 seasons. This example, his more valuable "portrait" version, is graded 2 GD by SGC, with plenty of eye appeal.
