Orlando, you have put together an absolutely fantastic collection is a relatively short periord of time. Congratulations.
I do not mean to hijack your thread, but since there seems to be some confusion regarding the PC805 Novelty Cutlery set, I thought that I would make a quick post.
There is quite a bit of evidence that the set was not produced until very late 1909, or probably 1910. There are a number of players pictured in uniforms that can be precisely dated to 1909. Also, the earliest postmark that I have ever seen for either a PC796 Sepia postcard or a PC805 Novelty Cutlery is 1910.
Lastly, the image of Cobb and Wagner is a very famous one from the 1909 World Series.
