Issued between 1911 and 1914 by the Buffalo NY company the issue known today as D304 and commonly called "Butter Krust" cards is one of the more unique issues of its era, due in part to the size of the cards (the cards are slightly larger than the more widely-distributed tobacco issues of the day) and partially due to the striking images of the subjects. Unlike other baseball issues of the era which often shared poses or images across multiple sets, the poses and illustrations in the D304 set are only found in this issue. The D304 issue is also significantly more rare than the popular tobacco sets of this era with its key cards rarely becoming available for sale in the hobby. This example, a bright and colorful one featuring Hall of Fame second baseman Eddie Collins, carries a VG 3 grade from SGC, largely the result of corner wear.
