This is a terrific early card of Baseball Hall of Famer Sam “Wahoo Sam” Crawford, pictured with the Detroit Americans (Tigers). Crawford was one of the greatest hitters of the Deadball Era and remains baseball’s all-time career leader in triples with 309.
This example is the desirable Blank Back variation and has excellent overall eye appeal for a card more than 110 years old.

The card features a great full-length batting pose of Crawford with a strong, clear image. The blank reverse presents very nicely as well. As expected with a vintage card of this age, there is some normal toning and wear; please review the front and back photos carefully for exact condition.
The M101-5 Sporting News set is one of the important early baseball issues of the 1910s, featuring many of the era’s legendary players. A PSA 5 example of Hall of Famer Sam Crawford is an excellent addition to a serious pre-war, Detroit Tigers, Hall of Fame, or type-card collection.
PSA authenticated and encapsulated. The card pictured is the exact card you will receive.
