This is just stunning. Thanks very much for sharing this.
Here are my unsolicited favorites:
The Chief Bender card is hands down my favorite card in the set. I'd take it even over the Young and Wagner.
As a Cobb fan I have to love the Harry Bemis. Cool picture.
The Jimmy Collins and Lajoie cards are outstanding.
I can't decide if Jimmy Sheckard looks more like a gangster or a politician.
Some kid really loved Eddie Plank, because he must have carried those cards around in his pocket. But he didn't like Ed Poole. I love that Ed Poole was traded for reading novels in the dugout. And why is he halfway down the card? Did they use the kiddie stool to pose him?
The Doc Powers portrait is a beautiful card. Harry Steinfeldt too.
Fred Tenney may be the all time human being who looks worst with a mustache. I'm including women.
Little Joe Yeager looks 12 and Vic Willis just looks confused.
Emmet Heidrick looks like he's trying to pose for a postage stamp. Or be a European general.
Historic set, Ryan. Unbelievable.
