The 200 black-and-white images appearing in the H801-8 set are also found in three other sets from 1917, each with bespoke advertising. The cards were intended for this purpose and printed "on spec", with the Boston Store, a prominent Chicago concern, availed themselves accordingly. The five cards seen here are all trimmed and cut down, yet the cards are quite scarce.
Included in this lot of five American League players are Chester Thomas, Joe Benz, Dick Hoblitzell, Pep Young and Lawton Witt. The majority have creases and most show some light foxing, with a bit more visible on Witt than the others. Five cards total.
