Description
A stunning black-and-white tribute card featuring pitcher Wes Ferrell of the Washington Senators. The card features a classic 1937-style design with a bold black border and a unique 'WHY NOT IN HALL OF FAME?' banner in the upper right corner. The bottom lists his name, team, position, and the year highlighted (1937).
Key Features
Wes Ferrell is often cited as the greatest hitting pitcher in MLB history. This set was produced in the mid-1990s as a campaign/tribute to advocate for players overlooked by the Cooperstown Veterans Committee.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: High. This is a modern card (not from 1937). The clean typography and gloss finish are consistent with 1990s production. It is not a frequently faked item due to its low market value.
Flaws to Note
Significant white chipping along the black borders, especially on the left edge. Minor softening on the bottom left and top left corners. Surface may have fingerprints or light scratches typical of high-gloss black cards.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform. Listing as 'Buy It Now' with a low shipping cost using eBay Standard Envelope is the most efficient way to move this card.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading exceeds its market value. Use high-contrast photos to show that the black borders are sharp. Use keywords like 'Senator Pitcher', 'Hard to find', and 'Cooperstown Candidate'.
