Carl-
I don't have much to add to what the previous posters have said...except to say that this set along with the Polo Grounds set have long been favorites of mine as an inexpensive way of collecting Hall-of-Famers, though not all the photos are appealing. The National Game does have the Patent Date on the Back - which I find to be really cool!
I wound up deciding to resell all I had collected except five: Cobb, Wagner, Johnson, Mathewson (as one of the concentrations of my collection is the First Five) and Alexander (which, IMO, is as close to a rookie card of his as exists).
As Leon noted, it is easy to find these in better condition because they were originally produced with rounded corners.
Be Patient and Good Hunting,
Raymond
