Adam, thanks for providing this interesting info. I notice that of the examples of these cards posted thus far in this thread, the players are on different teams and the cards are of different colors, except for the 3 Washington Senators players in blue color that I showed. This leads me to wonder if a strip of 10 cards was produced for each team, with each team produced in a different color. If so, then there most likely was a Sam Rice card issued in blue, for which I would trade my first born for.
