Thank you Joshua. I will do that.

My thoughts on the Lummis/Sealtest connection:

1. They were regional Philadelphia issues and these are Phillies only and stamp on back is also Philadelphia.
2. Size-wise they are very similar to Lummis/Sealtest
3. Shape-wise they are very similar to Lummis/Sealtest
4. Of the seven players, only two were in the Lummis/Sealtest issue. Those two happen to have the same exact photos as do the Lummis/Sealtest cards of those players? Possible coincidence. But it would be HUGE coincidence. If there was a player in the lot that had a different image than he had in the Lummis/Sealtest it would give me great pause. But the two who ended up in the set just happen to be the same exact photos as Lummis/Sealtest?
5. Every other player in this lot other than the two who ended up in the Lummis/Sealtest set were no longer with the team by the time the Lummis/Sealtest issue was released. So, again it would be a HUGE coincidence if this has nothing to do with that particular issue, yet the only two issued in card form are the ones who were still on the team when that particular set was released, AND those two happen to have the exact same images as they did in that set.

Circumstantial evidence I will agree. But there is a LOT of circumstantial evidence.
