I can't say I have heard of any proof Obak cards floating around, although there are uncut sheets of the 1909 set out there. They are all Oakland players; from left to right they are Christian, Cameron and Ragan. The most interesting thing about this strip is that the images of the players are reversed. For example, on the issued card of Cameron the glove is on the right side of the card instead of the left, on Christian his arm leads off to the left instead of the right, etc.

Is it normal to see reversed images on proof cards? Any printing experts have an opinion (Pete)?
