Jimmy Sheckard: Chicago NL Side view

Jimmy Sheckard: Chicago NL Side view was born 1878, and died 1947. He was associated with the Chicago Cubs of the National League. He batted left-handed and threw right-handed. His likeness survives in the cardboard record on the T206 White Border issue. The T206 White Border set, issued by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911 and distributed in cigarette packs, remains the most widely collected of all pre-war baseball card releases. Career statistics and full game-by-game records for many deadball-era contributors are incomplete in the surviving sources, leaving the cards themselves as a primary witness to the player's place in the professional game. This particular catalog entry corresponds to the card variant identified as "Jimmy Sheckard: Chicago NL Side view".
