Lot 63. Circa 1887-89 Die-Cut of Major League Baseball Star Jack Glasscock. Glasscock is in both the 1888 N28 Allen & Ginter World’s Champions set and the 1888 N162 Goodwin Champions set as a member of the National League’s Indianapolis Hoosiers. This late 19th century die-cut also features Glasscock in Indianapolis attire. The NL batting champion in 1890, he led the league in hits twice, fielding seven times and in assists six times. It took about 100 years for his fielding and assist records to be broken – in the 1980s by Ozzie Smith. The die-cut, about 4 ¼” tall, shows Glasscock in a batting pose. Some scrapbook residue on the blank back and a crease in the cap dictate the grade, g. This die-cut displays beautifully with strong colors and a powerful presence. We have not seen an example like this before.
