1913 Fatima Cigarettes T200 Cleveland Americans (Rare Shoeless Joe Jackson Card!) Graded SGC 1 (with pen marking on the back). This is one of the most interesting pre-war issues ever manufactured and this card picturing Shoeless Joe Jackson (in the upper left) during his prime is one of the keys to the set. In 1913, Jackson hit .373 and was only a couple of years away from joining the Chicago White Sox, the last Major League team he would ever play for. The T200 set contains 16 total team cards, eight from the American League and eight from the National League. Also pictured is Napoleon Lajoie, who was a member of the team and can be seen near the bottom right in the photo. In addition, this photo pictures Ray Chapman, the only player in history to suffer a fatal injury on the field. Chapman was struck in the head by a Carl Mays fastball in 1920 and died as a result of the impact.
Condition: PR-GD
