I have a bunch of these and never could figure out who the player was on the card. They are cool type cards though

I would guess it was mfg. by New York Consolidated Card Company. Each deck of 52 cards had one pose, I believe. They were located at 222-228 West 14th Street., NY, NY...They were technically the Willis W. Russell Card Co, from Milltown NJ but somehow were mfg in NY.....and the card set was called "Russell's Rustlers". .at least that's what it looks like to me....value can swing from a few dollars up to much more...depending on who is going after it.....hope this helps...

Leon, that was one shallow, insufficient answer. If you can't tell him who bought it in 1906, and the denominations of coins used, then you're pretty weak there on information. Jamie, I apologize to you for Leon's short answer.













Seriously, Leon kinda knocked the ball over the fence there, didn't he. Anyone can run the bases after that.

You know Frank, I think we all just went through a thread where personal attacks were supposed to be curtailed for a few days, it's not been a few days yet... what gives? If you're going to bash Leon, do it the right way... Ask Wonka to do a good picture of him... maybe as Rosen's Minnie Me.... and call him names like bald headed fart or something like that... and then tell him that his Kelly 4BH really sucks and that you wouldn't take it if it were the last card on earth....
