Nice display piece...you could turn the frame 90 degrees every once in awhile to showcase a different group of players at the top!

I have posted a few here because pictures are nice:
That Pittsburg Leader card is gorgeous. I believe their schedule is on the back if I remember correctly?

Not many of these around. One of the earlier versions, preceeded only by '02 and '03......

Phil - Your W601 Sporting Life Composite is from the 1904 series. AFAIK, there is only one older series - the 1903. I do not think that there were any issued in 1902.

Yours pictures the 1903 Pirates pennant winning team, which was referred to as the "Champions for 1904.". This was a common title at the time, but can now be confusing. The Giants won the NL pennant in 1904 and were referred to as the "Champions for 1905" at the time.

Here is the Pittsburg composite from 1903 from an image that I stole from the internet. Again, it pictures members of the 1902 pennant winning team.

And just to add to the confusion, here is the Pirate composite from the 1905 set. It pictures players from the 1904 team and since they did not win the pennant, the title only identifies them as being from 1904, but it was definitely issued in 1905. I have also attached the cover of the portfolio.

confusing but very nice pieces

Thanks for the info Kevin. Just double checked mine and it is from 1904.

And here’s the 1908 Vignette postcard which I believe was mentioned earlier…

Thank you for the clarification, Kevin. Pretty cool to know that I have the first ever World Series representative from the National League pictured on mine.

Here is the 1905 Champions Medal given to John McGraw for the Giants of 1904. From the Halper auction.

Nice Pinkerton. The below card is definitely not mine, but I always thought this was a great Wagner in action baseball card...the E300 Plow's Candy.

Hi Brian, I think I'd add M101-2 Wagner to the "Probably less the the T206 Wagner" grouping.
