Curious issue containing photographic images inside an ornate frame, often found tinted in green, blue, pink or red.  The ten-card set boasts nine Hall of Famers plus Lefty O'Doul, and is highlighted by cards of both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, and utilizes images seen in the 1929 Kashin Publications issue, among others.  The card of Gehrig utilizes the famous Conlon image found on his 1933 Goudey card, this example graded VG 3 by SGC due to overall wear.  A seldom seen, interesting strip issue from a tough set that packs quite a punch.
