Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>The back lines up...meaning it's centered...and the dialogue on the back is baseball related. it doesn't look cut at all to me. I think it's a card of some sort.<br>

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>My brother Rhys purchased the item. We collectively had never seen anything like it so we took a chance. It doesn't look cut out or anything, but it definitely could be just that. Anyways, I guess we will see when it arrives.<br>-Rhett

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I need to say I hope it turns out to be a card. I love those kinds of things. I have, too often, found sellers to answer correctly though. All that being said it does look like a card to me too <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif">.....GOOD LUCK!!

Posted By: <b>Rhys</b><p>A PCL Collector friend of mine informed me that this was an accordian style booklet of photos/cards put out by the Sacramento Team in 1914 and that this is similar to the Baltimore Shirt Company cards issued later. I guess this makes it a true "card" to all those who believe the Baltimore Shirt issues are cards, and not a "card" to those that believe the Baltimore cards are just part of a bigger piece. Either way to me, it is vintage and really cool Lefty Williams piece so I am happy. I was told there are 4 known booklets in the hobby and they are all tucked away in advanced collections. A special thanks to the PCL collector who filled me in, I dont want to name him incase he wants his privacy but I bet most of you already know who he is.<br><br>Rhys
