I'm not aware of an early set devoted solely to the Highlanders, but Higlanders/Yankees individual player cards appear in many early 1900s sets. Includes the T206s, T205s, etc. I beleive there is a 1913 T200 Fatima Highlanders/Yankees team card (photo of entire team), which would be a great early card for the Yankees fan. I suspect this is the first Yankees team baseball card ever issued.

I'm not a Yankees follower, but if you are trying to figure out what is the first baseball card to picture a Yankee I suspect someone around will give you an opinion.

1904 team photo. Insert from Burr/McIntosh magazine. Don't know if it passes the card designation test; but cool looking even if it doesn't. Think this is from the year Chesbro won 41 games; Keeler also on this team that came in 2nd place to the Red Sox.

My recollection is that one of the earliest photos is a 1903 Horner Cabinet Composite with all
the Highlanders on it. At one time I owned The Horner American League
Cabiinet from 1903 (see National pastime -Volume 1) and that included
the first Highlander Team.

Assume that the E-107 cards are the first year with Highlander players.
Chesbro being the most desirable. I have only seen once many years
ago in the legendary collection of a former Topps gum employee.

I was hoping I wasn't going to hear that was the 1st series of regular issue cards for the Yanks. I saw the Chesbro on Ebay last year I think. It went for a small fortune.
