Once mistaken for E95 and E96 "proof" cards this 20-card "set" consists of cards that were hand cut from a series of baseball-tehemed notebook covers issued in 1913 which featured reproductions of E95 and E96 baseball cards printed on them. Each notebook cover featured five cards and the covers were blank-backed. Each of the set's 20 known subjects is taken from either the E95 or E96 set. Since they are hand cut none of the cards receive a numerical grade however we elected to submit them to SGC on behalf of our consignor for protection and display purposes. While we have offered cards from this issue in the past this is the first example of the Lajoie card that we have seen (and also the first the SGC has seen) and therefore is the only known graded example. While it has been well-handled and exhibits paper loss at the top and right edges the image quality remains strong and colorful. A very difficult card.
