1916 Famous and Barr Co. Hans Wagner #184

Baseball Cards

SGC4
The 1916 Famous and Barr Co. #184 Hans Wagner features the legendary shortstop in his batting follow-through, identified with the period-correct "Pittsburg" spelling along the bottom border. Graded SGC 4 VG/EX, the card preserves sharp black-and-white image clarity and intact framing relative to the issue. The reverse displays the complete advertisement for Famous and Barr Co., a St. Louis department store that issued these cards as promotional giveaways. Distributed during the dead-ball era alongside the M101-4 and M101-5 series produced by Felix Mendelsohn, store-backed regional variations of this set remain among the most recognizable commercial releases of the decade. Issued in Wagner's penultimate major league season, this card captures the eight-time National League batting leader and inaugural 1936 Hall of Fame inductee near the conclusion of his 21-year career.Show more
