What a funny hobby this can be. After posting about the above booklet this week (and not having remembered ever seeing one in more than 30 years of collecting Cleveland Naps and Indians memorabilia), this evening I discovered the two below within a collection of a veteran collector that I continue to sort through and sell.
As one can see, the booklet on the left is another copy of the one I originally posted, and the one on the right was issued in 1912. Logic dictates that Guardian also issued one in 1911, no?
I've not yet tried to determine whether the player depicted on the 1912 booklet is generic or a specific Nap. Any input -- other than it's Joe Jackson -- is welcome.
