Not only is this the most significant and highest valued Baseball trade card, but it also has the honor of being the highest valued trade card of any subject. Extremely rare and colorful privately printed card produced by Gast & Co of New York. 3.25 x 5.25''. The only flaw is a very light vertical brown line extending from the top edge to about the middle of the card in between the pitcher and batter. The line is visible only under close inspection. Sharp corners and near perfect centering. No creases or tears. NRMT.
