Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>MastroNet auctioned an uncut sheet of them, I think referring to them as notebook covers proofs(their description will be found in the old aucton catalog). The sheet was soonafter cut down into singles for resale.<br /><br />I beleive all the known singles came from the one sheet, so there are only a few of each player. I think Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb and Walter Johson are included.

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>I used to own that exact Criger "1908 notebook cover", and also the Waddell below. I picked them both up on eBay a few years back right after they were cut.<br /><br />David is right, they were originally seen in a big sheet, including Cobb, Mathewson, and a few other players. I believe there is only a couple of each player known. I havent seen them on eBay for a while. When they first hit the market you used to see them more often for sale.<br /><br /><img src="http://members.aol.com/canofprimo/1908notebook.jpg">
