Pair of collector-grade cards fro the condition-sensitive T222 Fatima issue.  Due to the printing on photographic paper, these cards are susceptible to cracking and creasing, with virtually all surviving example remaining in low grade.  With this issue, eye appeal is virtually the only way to collect.  Presented here are two cards from the set, both Hall of Famers: 1) Frank Chance (HOF): First of all, look at how Frank Chance is holding the bat as he squares to bunt.  He's going to have his fingers broken!  His whole left hand!  Didn't anyone teach kids how to bunt in the early 1900s?  The card has been graded PR-FR 1 by PSA but does exhibit strong eye appeal, cracking and creasing is light.  2) Rube Marquard (HOF): Graded PR-FR 1 by PSA, the card exhibits significant wear, creasing, and corner wear.  Two cards total.
