Very scarce supplement from a set of supplements related to the 1909 Minneapolis Millers as issued in the Minneapolis Tribune. As of today just a dozen subjects are known though there are likely more. Measuring approximately 4 1/2" x 10" the supplements feature large full-body player photos and facsimile signatures with blank backs. This example of Fred Olmstead is in poor condition with small tears at the top edge resulting in some missing paper as well as some much larger tears at the bottom resulting in even larger chips missing. Still these supplements are extremely scarce and when collectors find the opportunity to latch onto an example competition is typically brisk.
