1928 Silver gelatin posed action photograph of Hall of Famer Tris Speaker in uniform with the Athletics during his only season with the team. This is the photo that was used to make his 1928 Star Player Candy baseball card and is only the second example of this image we have ever handled. The photo has a small chip off the lower right corner, otherwise it presents pretty well with some editorial framing from publication.
