Sepia photograph by photographer Charles Martin Conlon
In 1986, World Wide Sports of St. Louis, MO, in cooperation with
The Sporting News,
issued a 60-card set of standard format (2-1/2" by 3-1/2") cards in commemoration of the Exhibition BASEBALL IMMORTALS a feature of The National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution. Each card was made from a 4x5 glass negative of baseball's premier photographer - Charles Martin Conlon. In addition to the photographic artistry, the biographical information written by Paul MacFarlane on the card backs makes this card among the finest ever issued. Each permits a nice insight to the player and baseball of his era.
Seldom offered as a set and scarcely seen for sale singly, only 12,000 complete sets were issued. This is a great opportunity to add a favorite player or two to one's collection. Perfect for the team and type card collector.
Rogers Hornsby was the greatest right-handed hitter of all-time, posting a career .358 batting average.
Condition: Near-Mint or better
