I think some of the color combos chosen for their cards are among the best graphically of all early 20th century cards. My favorite is Jack Barry's card. I like most of the AL cards too, esp. White Sox. Oddly, I do not find the Cobb to be particularly attractive. Too green, I guess, and doesn't really look like him.

Not so wild about the NL cards; too impressionistic. I do like McGraw and Marquard's cards. Not so wild about Matty, either; has a mug shot quality to it.

It is a nice set, but I prefer the T206 poses for the most part. The bust-style portraits look better than the mug shots.
