1908 Auditorium Roller Rink Pirates set

[drumback]

I found this ad in the 2/25/1908 issue of the Pittsburg Post-Gazette. Has anyone ever seen or heard of this set?

Apparently it wasn't just Pirates. This ad ran two days later.

Wow! would love to see an example of the set.

Cool find! I've never heard of these either.

Looks like at least 6 series of cards. It feels like the photos have nothing to do with the cards. If they didn't print an ad on the cards then we'd be looking at any of the blank back or anon sets.

I have now found five different ads. Looks like it is six series total.

Series 1 - photo of Fred Clarke - ad ran 2/25/08.
Series 2 - no ad found yet.
Series 3 - photo of Bresnahan - ad ran 2/27/08.
Series 4 - photo of Frank Chance - ad ran 2/28/08.
Series 5 - photo of Harry Steinfeldt - ad ran 2/29/08.
Series 6 - photo of Tommy Leach - as ran 3/1/08.

I have not found anything dated after 3/1/08, so most likely, it was only six series.

Oh man I hope one of these pictures surfaces. That would be so cool. I assume it would have info on the rink on the back, or somewhere.
