All measure 13" x 14" and feature between 15 and 17 players from the associated club, including their manager or player-manager. Depicted players across all teams include many former and future major leaguers including: Jap Barbeau, Jack Cronin, Jimmy Dygert, Sam Frock, Rudy Hulswitt, Lefty Leifield, Ambrose Puttman, and Elmer Zacher.

NOTE: Though there is inconsistency in the hobby as to the dating of this issue, we have elected to follow the guidance of the Standard Catalog, which lists the date as 1905.
