Clean and unused higher-grade example of this unique issue offered here as a seldom-seen complete set. Each of the issue's 6 cards feature the image of a ballplayer in action. While once considered to be relatively generic images an outstanding thread on the Net54baseball message board has identified most the players including Hall of Famers Jimmy Collins and Frank Chance. Players in our scan have been identified as follows: TOP ROW (L-R): George Winter Ollie Pickering an unidentified player that might be Ed Gagnier. MIDDLE ROW (L-R): Jimmy Collins (HOF - reaching sliding player unidentified) Frank Chance (batting with Frank Roth behind the plate). BOTTOM ROW: unidentified. You can follow the thread on Net54 by clicking here. The cards are largely in EX condition with clean images and some toning around the edges of the vertical cards. The reverses do exhibit some areas of toning and mild discoloration but are otherwise clean. An outstanding example of this intriguing six-card postcard set rendered more interesting as players are identified.
