Issued during the summer of 1909 in copies of the Boston Sunday Post, the 9" x 14" supplements featured 13 individual members of the Red Sox, each issued in a sheet of two, with the exception of Amby McConnell, who was issued in one singular supplement. Each was printed on brittle newsprint, titled "Red Sox Stars" and featuring an action image of the player, with an inset portrait photo. Presented here is a complete set of the 13 possible subjects, including Harry Wolter/Harry Hooper (HOF), Heinie Wagner/Frank Arellanes, George Stahl/Bill Carrigan, Ed Cicotte/Harry Niles, Edward Spencer/Charlie Chech, Harry Lord/Tris Speaker (HOF), and Amby McConnell. The supplements exhibit wear consistent with the delicate and brittle newsprint, mostly in the form of tiny edge tears and chips, along with light wrinkling. The most egregious condition flaws appear in the Lord/Speaker piece as obvious wear to Lord's corners, and a 1" tear at bottom edge of McConnell's example. Six two-player supplements and one individual supplement are included.
