Issued by the Suhling Company of Chicago, this 20 subject postcard set featured the local teams in a black and white photo format. Five of them, all postally unused, are presented here and all have a degree of corner rounding.  "Nic" Altrock is holdered as Authentic by SGC, with a seeming trim down the right side and some corner creases visible.  Fielder Jones is in an SGC 3 holder and has signs of old, non-adhesive corner mounts, especially on the reverse.  "Eddie" Hahn is graded SGC 2 and also has evidence of the same mounts being used. Frank Isbell, also in SGC 2, is the last of the "mount-ees" and "Jiggs" Donahue round out the quintet, in SGC 2 as well.  All three of these 2's present well, with wear consistent with the grade.  Five cards total.
