as I have 74 of the 75 cards in the master set. Many of my favorites are off on a shelf and hard to access. While it's a somewhat unpopular set for a few reasons - I like it because of the artwork, the true to life depictions of the athletes, and the additional action scenes. I'll offer this one - the representation was taken from an actual photograph also found on a period cabinet card. Shameless plug for my missing Rowe common without the advertising on front :)

Great stuff guys. It really is some fantastically simple artwork.
