anybody know this Senators set?

[timn1]

I picked up a bunch of 18 of these in a smaller auction a few years ago and now I can't remember or find any info about them.

It's from 1924, judging by the players. There was no WaJo in the group but I expect he was included.

Any info would be welcome!

Could they be these? Blurb from auction house: In 1924 the National Photo Co. commemorated the Washington Senators' World Series title with a set of real photographs, slightly larger than baseball card size and each with a facsimile signature of the player on the front. While not listed in the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards, these are every bit part of a rare baseball card set despite being real photographs. An undervalued item that is a fantastic cross-collectible as they are indeed actual photographs from the National Photo Company, but someday will be recognized for the baseball cards they are.

They should have the national photo stamp on the back. I had one with Wajo and several others and their kids.

Good point Lucas, I should have included a back.

I believe these were made for the players, issued in a small black autograph-type booklet with one or two attached to each black page. One or two complete booklets have emerged from players' estates over the years, and another one or two sets or groups with the photos removed from the albums. There are somewhere around 20-25 different poses, of which three or four include WaJo. I'm sure Val Kehl has been paying attention to these for decades now, and should have more to add about them. I've never really considered them cards, more as photos or premiums, but I don't have a problem with those who do.

I love the quality of them. No shade on 20s issues but these really show the players as well as anything.

Val Kehl would be one of my go to guys for a question like this.
