1951 Topps Connie Mack's All-Star Tris Speaker
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 Tris Speaker
Speaker's place on an all-time team rests on his center-field play as much as his bat. He holds the career records for assists and double plays by an outfielder, and his 792 doubles are the major-league record. His 1912 season in Boston produced a .383 average, 222 hits, 136 runs, 52 steals and a league-leading 53 doubles, and it won him the Chalmers Award. In 1916, his first year in Cleveland, he hit .386 and ended Ty Cobb's run of nine straight batting titles. He spent his final season, 1928, with Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics alongside Cobb, hitting .267 in 64 games. The Hall of Fame elected him in 1937.
Tris Speaker played center field for 22 seasons, 1907 to 1928, with Boston, Cleveland, Washington and Philadelphia. He retired with a .345 average, 3,514 hits and a record 792 doubles. He played so shallow that he turned unassisted double plays at second base, and his career totals for outfield assists and double plays are major-league records. In Boston he anchored the Million-Dollar Outfield with Harry Hooper and Duffy Lewis, won the 1912 Chalmers Award as the league's most valuable player after hitting .383, and won World Series in 1912 and 1915. A salary dispute sent him to Cleveland on April 8, 1916, and he hit .386 that year to end Ty Cobb's run of nine straight batting titles. He became Indians player-manager in July 1919, won the 1920 World Series, and compiled a 617-520 record before resigning after the 1926 season amid game-fixing accusations from Dutch Leonard; Commissioner Landis cleared him. The Baseball Hall of Fame elected him in 1937.

135 cards across five issues - the Red Backs and Blue Backs (52 each), nine Team cards, and eleven each of Connie Mack's All-Stars and the Major League All-Stars. With the Zernial and Holmes variations and both versions of each Team card the master set is 146. All 135 count toward the full set; Jim Konstanty, Robin Roberts and Eddie Stanky, the three rarest Major League All-Stars, are so rarely seen that collectors often count a complete set as 132 without them.
