Description

The 1910-11 Sporting Life M116 Joe Tinker card with the blue back is a classic piece from the early 20th century and features one of baseball’s famous shortstops from the legendary Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance double-play combination. The M116 series was produced by the Sporting Life magazine and distributed as a premium item, and cards with blue backs are slightly rarer than the pastel backs, adding a touch of scarcity to this variation. In an SGC 1 (Poor) condition, the card likely has significant wear, creasing, or other age-related damage. However, even in lower grades, cards from this set, especially featuring Hall of Fame players like Joe Tinker, still hold collectible value. The blue back variation generally attracts a premium compared to the pastel version, given its relative scarcity. Collectors often seek even low-graded cards from the M116 series due to their historical significance and connection to early baseball history.
