Hal Chase New York-A 12/16/09

This entry is cataloged under the card-print legend "Hal Chase New York-A 12/16/09", a pose-and-team variation distinct from the player's standard listing. The subject lived from 1883 to 1947. He played in the American League, principally for the New York Yankees. He batted right and threw left-handed. This pose surfaces in the Sporting News Supplements 1909-13 issue, where pose-and-team variations of the period are part of what gives the run its checklist depth. Chase was permanently banned from organized baseball in 1919 following repeated game-fixing allegations across his career. Pose, team-text, and caption variations of this kind are routinely treated as separate cards in modern checklists, and condition-aware comp pricing follows that distinction.
