Lot # 622: 1916 M101-4 Indianapolis Brewing Co. #195 Joe Wood SGC VG 3

Graded VG 3 by SGC. Indianapolis Brewing is an exceedingly rare back for any M101-4, let alone for a star pitcher such as Joe Wood. The 1916 Indianapolis Brewing Co. set is identical in design to M101-4 and M101-5 Sporting News (as is the case with all the M101-4 and M101-5 sets issued by various local establishments) but with advertising on the reverse for the "Indianapolis Brewing Co. – Indianapolis, Indiana." This is a great card with any back, but the advertising reverse in this case certainly does deserve prominent mention and potentially adds a very special dimension of interest. This card has a bright and crisp image, even corner wear, and a small crease on the upper right. The reverse advertisement for Indianapolis Brewing Company is boldly printed in black. This is a very attractive, mid-grade example worthy of the finest Joe Wood, Boston Red Sox, or rare vintage baseball-card collection.
