Not sure about the other players, I will have to do some research. There is some writing on the back, listing the players, but it is kind of hard to read.

I think I just filled a very tough hole in my Maine collection.

If anyone recognizes other players, feel free to let me know.
Nice pickup, Sean. What do you know about George "Squanto" Wilson? Native American? Or did teammates just think he looked NA enough to give him a NA nickname?
