The "Genuine Oil Painting Reproductions" are each in a small plastic frame measuring approximately 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" and the group is unopened in original packaging.

I lost out on a 7th piece which was Woodie Held (congratulations on a great pickup!). I've wondered for some time what the complete checklist looks like, but so far these are the only players I have seen. Until this auction I had not even seen the Held, Perry, and Score before! Hoping this will spark some interest and result in more of these coming up for sale.

That is exactly the kind of stuff I love! The Giants have a similar, super rare set but they are photographs and bigger. The 3D frames have to be “assembled” by tab and slot.

I noticed two things about yours: Terry Francona bears a strong resemblance to his dad and Jim Perry’s autograph of his surname is similar to Gaylord’s. Great pick up!
