Scarce and Strange!
Hi Leon,
Nice pick-up! You don't see them often and usually not with the custom ad on back. There's also one weird thing about the card:
Baker is shown standing next to Dan Shaugnessy, the player for whom he was traded! Connie Mack traded Dan for Frank. So -- were they both together just for picture day?
Shaugnessy later went on to become the president of the International League from 1936 to 1950. Other major leaguers also are pictured in this team shot.
