Complete four-card set depicting unnamed players in red or blue uniforms. The cards like most advertising trade cards were printed on thin paper and typically subject to damage from handling or scrapbook mounting. Still the image quality is strong the illustrations more realistic than many of the other advertising trade cards issued during the period. Collection grades largely FAIR with the aforementioned scrapbook evidence visible on the reverse in the form of slight glue remnants on three of the four cards. The "Umpires Lot Not a Happy One" card while presenting well does suffer from torn-away paper at the upper-right corner. The card labeled "A brush with the ball" has had its white border trimmed away while the "Chance for a kick" card also does appear to have had a slight trim on two sides both common issues with trade cards. Four cards total.
