1916 Tango Eggs Billy Meyer (Picture Fred Jacklitsch)

Description: This lot features the 1916 Tango Eggs Billy Meyer (Picture Fred Jacklitsch) – PSA 7! POP 4! Athletics! --- A catcher who spent most of his 19-year active (1910–1928) playing career in the minor leagues, Billy Meyer threw and batted right-handed, and was listed as 5 feet 9 inches tall and 170 pounds. Meyer broke into the majors with the 1913 Chicago White Sox, though he appeared in only one game. Three years later, when he returned to the American League with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1916, he appeared in 50 games for a squad which won only 36 games and lost 117. The following year, he played in 62 games for an improved A's club which, however, still posted a 55–98 mark. Then, a generation-and-a-half later, Meyer managed the 1952 Pittsburgh Pirates to the third-worst record in modern National League history, the Bucs winning only 42 of 154 games. However, during the period from 1932 through 1947, Meyer was a highly successful minor league manager, helming high-level teams in the New York Yankees' organization and winning four playoff championships. Here’s a great looking example of his 1916 card here. This beauty has 4 great looking corners, 4 super nice borders and a blazing surface with full gloss, color and clarity. The reverse is crisp and clean with pack fresh background color, near perfect centering and no marks or blemishes of any kind.
