Description
1907-09 PC765-1 Dietsche Postcards Jerry Downs PSA EX+ 5.5 - Pop Two, None Higher! In 1907, the Detroit Tigers won their very first American League pennant before bowing to the Chicago Cubs in the Fall Classic. As part of the postseason celebration, there were numerous promotions, giveaways and souvenirs that showcased the Motown squad. Issued for the '07 World Series was a set of 16 postcards produced by the Dietsche Postcard Company of Detroit. Today, based on their limited circulation, these are not easy cards to find. The top name on the team, of course, was Ty Cobb, but offered is the postcard featuring an up-and-coming player named Jerry Downs who platooned at second base with Germany Schaefer. This rare example is found in Excellent+ condition. As a ballplayer, Downs played sparingly in the Major Leagues and spent the majority of his professional career bouncing between minor league clubs. Graded PSA EX+ 5.5. According to the PSA Pop Report, this is one of only two cards graded EXCELLENT+ with none rated higher.Guide Value or Estimate: $400 - up.
