Very rare barely known 1911 Type card of James Archer.
Lot 48. Very rare barely known 1911 Type card of James Archer. One of three similar cards found in the 1980's. The card, which is very much in the style of the Sporting News cards, measures 3 3/8" x 1 7/8 and shows a black and white photo of Archer throwing with the caption "JAMES ARCHER Catcher - 1911 Chicago Nationals" in three lines. The rear has "A Picture Given with Every 5 CENTS In Trade at..." And then the words continuing the sentence "ANY Confectionery" in a purple rubber stamp. There is a similar rubber stamp to the left saying "National Circulation System DUBUQUE IOWA" .The card has a light stain to the upper right of the front and is otherwise excellent. As rare as it gets.
Winning Bid $5,704.
