Description:Rare and desirable 1912-14 H813 Boston Garter Tris Speaker (SGC 40 VG with superior appearance) The Boston Garter series remains one of the most striking and highly desired of the period with colorful graphics and a selective group of subjects. This example depicts key Hall of Famer Tris Speaker listing him (on the back) as one of (12) subjects with statistics through the 1913 season. Very clean and free of any creasing or wrinkling, it is one of the most well preserved we have encountered and one of a very few to have been assigned a numerical grade by SGC rather than simply an "Authentic" designation. Touch of wear at each corner that is more pronounced at bottom particularly on the left side. Back has small half moon shaped area of toning at bottom (approx. half the size of a nickle) and for the sake of accuracy very light other scattered discoloration. Likely recieved a techincal downgrade from SGC due to centering which heavily favors the lower edge: SGC 40 VG ($10,000-$20,000)
