A scarce and highly desirable pre-war card of Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby from the 1922 E121 American Caramel Company set. One of the greatest hitters in baseball history, Hornsby’s early caramel-era cards are among the most sought after by advanced collectors.

The E121 series is known for its clean black-and-white imagery and classic early 1920s design, representing a key transitional period in the hobby between T206 and gum card production. Cards from this set are considerably tougher to locate than many contemporaries, especially in higher grades.

This example features Hornsby listed as an outfielder, adding a unique positional designation to an already desirable Hall of Fame issue. Graded SGC 3.5 VG+, the card presents very nicely with strong eye appeal for the grade. The image is clear and well-defined, with honest wear including corner rounding and light surface wear consistent with its age. Overall presentation is clean and highly displayable.

With a SGC population of just 1 at this grade level and only 1 graded higher, this card is exceptionally scarce within the hobby. High-grade examples of Hornsby from the E121 set are rarely encountered, making this a significant opportunity for collectors seeking rarity and condition.

Rogers Hornsby’s legacy as a two-time Triple Crown winner and one of the highest lifetime batting average leaders in MLB history continues to drive demand for his early cards. A rare and attractive Hall of Fame caramel-era card with elite population standing, an outstanding addition to any advanced pre-war or vintage baseball collection.
