1951 Topps Connie Mack's All-Star Honus Wagner
About this card
Connie Mack's All-Stars are eleven die-cut stand-ups of the all-time greats Connie Mack picked; every one of the eleven is in the Hall of Fame. They were made to be folded and stood up, so complete, unbent examples are hard to find.
About Honus Wagner
Wagner's place on an all-time team rests on the decade from 1900 to 1909, when he led the National League in every major batting category except triples and home runs, and Pittsburgh went 938-538. He hit .300 or better every season from 1899 through 1913. His .354 in 1908 came in a year both leagues hit .239, and his offensive winning percentage of .878 that season stood as the National League best until Barry Bonds in 2001. He entered the Hall of Fame in 1936.
Honus Wagner played 21 major league seasons and settled at shortstop after playing across the infield and outfield. Louisville gave him his major league debut on July 19, 1897, and when the Colonels folded after 1899, club president Barney Dreyfuss brought him along to the Pirates, where he spent the rest of his career. Wagner won a joint-record eight National League batting titles, the first at .381 in 1900, and in 1908 led the league in hitting, hits, doubles, triples, RBI and stolen bases. He played every position except catcher and gave up no earned runs in two turns on the mound. His speed and German heritage earned him the nickname the Flying Dutchman. In 1905 he signed a contract for the first bat bearing a player's signature, the Louisville Slugger. In 1914, at 40, he collected his 3,000th hit, the second player to reach it after Cap Anson. He retired after 1917 with 3,415 hits, a .327 average and 722 stolen bases, and in 1936 was one of the first five men inducted into the Hall of Fame.

With the Zernial and Holmes variations and both versions of each Team card the master set is 146.
