1909-1910 W555 Apparently Uncataloged Card of “Young, Cleveland Amer.”
Lot 30. 1909-1910 W555 Apparently Uncataloged Card of “Young, Cleveland Amer.” This appears to be a wrong-photo card that is listed as “Cy Young, Cleveland Amer.” in the Beckett checklist and as “Cy Young (standing, full name on front)” in the SCD checklist. Actually, the card pictures Irving Young, known as “Young Cy,” and not Denton Young, the Hall of Fame pitcher. Denton pitched for Cleveland from 1890-98, and then again from 1909-11, when these cards were produced. Irving played for the Braves, Pirates and White Sox, 1905-11, but never Cleveland. We’ll leave it to you to decide whether to think of it as a real Cy Young card with the wrong photo or as a “Little Cy” Young card with the wrong team. In either case, it’s ex-m and a very nice W555 example.
Winning Bid $240.
