I did a little research and found one other that surfaced in 07 and sold in REA. That one was in much rougher condition than this one. All 4 border sides had been trimmed down to the photo size and it had a large 1" hole through it. I went ahead and simply copied REA's description for that one and attached below. This thing is awesome. 16"x20" in size.

"Similar in style to the famed 1903 American League composite display photograph by Carl Horner, this extraordinary photographic composite, produced by the Weasner Photography Studio of Buffalo, N.Y., pictures the managers and players from the eight teams comprising the 1905 Eastern League: Baltimore, Rochester Buffalo, Newark, Jersey City, Toronto, Montreal and Providence. Among the managers pictured in the center of the display are Hughie Jennings for Baltimore, George Stallings (who later managed the 1914 “Miracle Braves”) for Buffalo, and Jack Dunn (who later signed Babe Ruth to his first professional contract) for eventual league champion Providence. A total of 120 different player images are displayed, including many players who had been in the Major Leagues in prior years and were just winding down their careers, and many others who went on to the Major Leagues in future years. Many players in this composite appeared in the T206 tobacco card set. The Eastern League began play in 1892 and remained in existence under that name until 1912, whereupon it became known as the International League. During an era of few Major League teams, the minor league circuits represented the top level of organized baseball for many areas of the country. The Eastern League was one of the most prestigious minor league organizations on the East Coast and was at one time presided over by Ed Barrow. This is an extremely substantial and impressive display piece, produced at great cost no doubt, and one that truly reflects the lofty status of the Eastern League at the time. This is the only example of this rare composite we have ever seen."

What an amazing array of cards in this pick-up thread! Super M116 Myers, a pack fresh Zeenut, bookoo CJs, Holy Sh!t, Dan K & Mighty Marty! My contributions to October Show'n'Tell are these yet-to-be-received cards from Heritage. Been wanting an E107 Chesbro since they came out in ought-three; the YumYum didn't get as much action as I anticipated so it kinda landed in my lap.

One of my favorite poses of Cobb. The postcard is postally used, but the good news is that part of the sender's content, dated Oct. 15, 1909, is a nice reference to the World Series between the Tigers and Pirates. I'll take that over a higher grade any day of the week.

Not exactly a new addition, but the kind of card whose successful crossover from PSA to SGC allows one to breathe a big sigh of relief.

<p><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/yawie99/currentcollection/slabbedscans/large/1911-14%20T216%20Matthewson%20-%20SGC50Fh.jpg" width="800" height="495"></p>

This one probably deserved the downgrade from PSA 2 to SGC 20, but my neurotic mind is now happy that there are no PSA slabs infiltrating my graded collection.

I've seen the sequence on a few other backs, and basically "Felix" is swinging two rats about his head, AND the fellow who is chasing him in your card, is now stuck in a pipe with his umbrella stuck in an unfortunate place !!!! :rolleyes:

Hey Phil, that Baseball Magazine Giants premium looks like it found a good home.

Steve, that's a beautiful card of Paul Strand. Last I knew his 325 hits in 1923 is still the most ever in a single season in professional baseball. Good results for turning a pitcher into an outfielder.

And here's a pickup of mine that I'm so tickled with I had to post... Now doesn't this guy look like a ballplayer, grimy uniform, looks like he should be an attendant at a gasoline house...
