Very scarce collection of supplements from a set related to the 1909 Minneapolis Millers as issued in the Minneapolis Tribune. As of today just a dozen subjects are known (though there are likely more). Measuring approximately 4 1/2" x 10" the supplements feature large full-body player photos and facsimile signatures with blank backs. Due to their large size and lightweight paper stock they are particularly condition sensitive. Presented here is a collection of four supplements from the issue. Each grades technically poor with pinholes corner clips tears from thumbtacks and in the case of Jerry Downs a torn-off right corner. Still the issue is scarce enough that locating a single example for a type collection is difficult; tracking down four is a near impossibility. Collection includes: 1) Jerry Downs 2) Andy Oyler 3) Lee Quillen and 4) Irv Young. Four pieces total.
