Lot # 572: 1912 Boston American Series Red Sox Postcard Tris Speaker SGC GOOD 2

Graded GOOD 2 by SGC. Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame outfielder Tris Speaker from the rare 1912 Boston American Postcard series. Issued by the Boston American to commemorate members of the World Championship Red Sox team, the complete set features six postcards, and Speaker is the key card as the only Hall of Famer. The postcard depicts Speaker in a sepia-toned, bat-at-ready pose set against a cream background. Speaker is identified as "Star Outfielder and Champion Batter Of The Red Sox" underneath. The card has moderate wear at the corners and a flawless image. The postcard reverse is lightly soiled and unused. A few scattered tiny chips of paper loss are present along the left edge of the reverse. This is a very attractive example of this distinctive, desirable, and beautifully produced postcard celebrating Hall of Famer Tris Speaker and the World Champion Boston Red Sox.
