The main reason why I came up with my Obak collecting strategy I mentioned in the previous post was because I found the 1910 and 1911 cards so visually attractive that I wanted to have all of the different fronts available, while staying within some kind of budget and not get too crazy or cup of noodle dependent.
Here are some examples of the artistry (and quite often outrageously colorful backgrounds) that drew me into these sets. The first three scans feature a players that can be found in all three sets that also have different artwork for each card, and the following three scans happen to be 1910 cards, both unique artwork subjects and ones that share artwork with the 1911 issue.
In my prejudiced eye even low condition examples maintain their beauty.
