Lot 29. 1909-11 T206 Old Mill Card of Lefty Leifield Graded 50 VG-EX 4 by SGC. This card features the pitching pose of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ winningest hurler from 1906-11. His 19-8 record helped Pittsburgh to win the world championship in 1909. The card seems to free of any obvious crease except for a small one in a corner.
Winning Bid $45.
Lot 31. 1910 T206 Piedmont Card of Heinie Zimmerman Graded 40 VG 3 by SGC. Great-looking card. The only obvious defects are centering toward the bottom resulting in part of Zimmerman’s name and team being cut off and a small crease in the lower right corner.
Winning Bid $25.
Lot 33. 1916 H801-9 (M101-4) Globe Clothing #176 Terry Turner SGC-Graded 60 EX 5. While sharing a checklist with M101-4 cards, this issue has its own American Card Catalog designation, and it is far less available than blank or Sporting News backs. This is a very nice type-collector example.
Winning Bid $75.
Lot 35. 1916 M101-4 Blank Back #26 Jimmy Callahan Graded 50 VG-EX 4 by SGC. Better known as “Nixey,” Callahan answers the question: “Who pitched the first no-hitter in the American League.” He did so in 1902. As a pitcher, he completed 169 of 177 starts, and won 99 of them. As a position player, as well as pitcher, he batted .273 lifetime, including .292 as a third baseman in 1903. He managed the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1916 and 1917. The card is nicely centered and clean, front and back, without any obvious crease, unless it’s tiny and in a corner. Looks as if it could just as easily be ex.
Winning Bid $55.
Lot 36. 1916 (M101-5) Famous and Barr #173 Amos Strunk Graded 50 VG-EX 4 by SGC. Lacking its own American Card Catalog designation, the Famous and Barr Co. Clothiers cards share a checklist with the M101-5 blank back issue. This example is well centered and has two small spots along on edge on the back and a corner crease. Very collectible type card.
Winning Bid $61.
