JimB- thanks.
Jon- fair question. I don't think so though. The Chance and Kling have the typical light paper feel (like the b&w E97s proofs) which is different from the notebook cover cards I have felt which feel "heavier." Whether or not it is a "proof" I guess we'll never know but the trio of cards, Chance, Kling and Davis Cleveland pegs this group at 1913 as 1912 was the only year Davis played for Cleveland, 1912 was the last year Kling played for Boston NL, and Chance was hired after the 1912 season ended to manage NY in 1913. It makes sense that a set was contemplated for 1913 but never issued. The 3 players in existence are all in the E95/E96 set and use the same photos.
