This lot should actually date from 1879 through the early 1880s. Current thinking is that the cards that are uncoated are from 1879-1880 and the coated cards from 1881 through the early 1880s. The exciting part of the lot is that it contains the first (by far) individual card of a black athlete, Hart a pedestrian. This set is the first tobacco insert sports set.
