Lot # 131: 1908 PC760 Rose Company Postcards Jimmy Collins - One of Only Two Graded Examples!

Extremely rare and desirable example of Philadelphia Athletics Hall of Famer Jimmy Collins from the PC760 Rose Postcard set, one of the rarest and most beautifully designed baseball-card sets ever produced. This is one of only two Rose Postcard Jimmy Collins examples graded by SGC (and none by PSA). It is fascinating to note that the portrait used on this card is the same one that appears on other Collins' cards, including his 1909 T204 Ramly and 1909-1911 T206 White Border. This is obviously an iconic and very popular pose! The offered card displays a bold portrait, corner and edge wear, and a few unobtrusive creases. The reverse is addressed but not postmarked. Encapsulated as Authentic by SGC, the card appears to be trimmed. This is a very presentable example from this beautiful and rare set and one that would make an outstanding addition to any PC760 set or Hall of Fame type-card collection.
