identify7Scott: I have very little to offer in that regard. My commentary solely related to the quality of your acquisition and the price which you paid for it.
I do not think that cards which are cut by kids should be forced through an evaluation scheme 80+ years later. This is a part of our Americana. Your selection, however, conforms well with current thinking regarding how kids should have cut their cards.
Scott: if you do not know much about this set, may I refer you to Black Sox Fan, he has knowledge (as do many others here) regarding this set. One of the most popular aspects of this set is that it is the one which contains the most persons who got thrown out of baseball for some reason, or no reason at all. But the reason I like it is that it contains two of the twentieth century pitchers who achieved more wins in a season, than walks surrendered. And you just got one whose record was equalled by Slim Salee during the year that his w514 picture was drawn. Have fun, it is a quaint set.
Oh wait. I think that this set also includes the first four pitchers to win 20 games on the same team. That would be Kerr, Williams, Cicotte, and Faber. There may be more - but it is an interesting set.
