I've been collecting baseball ads from newspapers and magazines and have 2 ads for an issue with Cobb, Evers and 6 other players. Is it connected with Strauss Bros. Tailors out of Chicago in 1910 issues of Saturday Evening Post. Does anyone know anything about this issue, or have one of the "Portraits?

I also have one of their ads and have been looking for the portraits for many years. Have never found a single one.

Incoming wild conjecture alert! The first thing that came to my mind was the W600 Sporting Life Cabinet set, since the ads (though showing action shots of Cobb and Evers) mention portraits.
I am relatively unfamiliar with the W600 issue...have cards been seen without the Sporting Life advertising? If so, that would make my wild conjecturing a little more possible. Brian (I can conjure a conjecture like no other) |

After 262 views and nobody really having any information, I went online and did some further searches and found this blog post:
"My 1910 Strauss Brothers Tailors catalog centerfold featuring some of baseball’s biggest stars of the day and Larry McLean. Of the 8 players featured, McLean is the only player that would not eventually be inducted into the Hall of Fame." The ad makes it seem like the photos were separate collectibles but perhaps they were simply the center page of a clothing catalog. In any case, it would be a sweet item to have framed! |
