25-card sheet from this 100-card playing card issue that was ostensibly issued on four sheets - two red, and two black, each with solid navy blue backs.  The cards featured a variety of subjects, including boxers, film stars, and other celebrities.  Of the 100 cards, just four - three red, and one black - pictured baseball players: Al Simmons, Lou Gehrig, and Tony Lazzeri on one red sheet, and Harry Heilmann on one of the black sheets.  The existence of sheets (although the other red sheet has never been discovered) means that higher-grade examples of the individual cards exist, however, the sheets themselves are dwindling in number.  Largely EX appearance with a couple of tiny edge tears at the top left and a moisture stain along the bottom of the reverse. The aforementioned moisture stain appears to miss most - but not all - of the Gehrig card.
