Off-grade example of this 1911 T201 Mecca "Double Folder" featuring catcher Ira Thomas, who spent a decade in the majors mostly with Connie Mack's strong Philadelphia A's teams. He won two World Series in 1910 and 1911. Jack Coombs, his battery mate with the A's, was one of the best pitchers in the game at the time. Over a three year period between 1910 and 1912 he went 80-31, and was a mainstay of the World Series championship teams. After retiring Coombs became head coach of the Duke Blue Devils baseball team, leading them from 1929 to 1952 with a record of 381-171-3. This great little timepiece grades 1.5 FR by SGC.
