Lot 203. Very rare 1916 Colonial Baseball Club post card with Ty Cobb. Very mysterious composite card with 20 cameos. Ty Cobb is clearly shown and identified in the middle. All the players are in matching uniforms with, what appears to be a bust of George Washington on the uniform. The team is identified as the Colonial Baseball Club and "Season 1916" is noted., The lower left of the card lists a score of "Colonials 4, Brooklyn Nt. League Champs 1" and similarly the lower left lists "Colonials 3, Boston Red Sox Worlds Champions". This clearly implies the Colonials played both 1916 pennant winners later in the year and beat them both. The card has a repaired lower left corner, is unused and is otherwise excellent.
Winning Bid $1,100.
