Only Three Graded! Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. The offered 1910 Schmelzer's Sporting Goods Hank Gowdy pinback was purportedly released by the Kansas City company during that time period. This extremely scarce artifact measures approximately 1-1/4" in diameter and pictures the backstop against a celluloid finish. The dual portrait/multi-colored illustration and "Catcher" identification text is absent of any abrasions or other obtrusive wear. Additionally, the advertising lining is centered and firmly attached to the backing. An outstanding Type piece for the pre-war collector who thought they had it all.
