Yup, the set was strictly in the Cleveland area and featured only Cleveland Spiders players. The one known example to exist of Burkett was unfortunately restored by taking the Burkett photo portion of the card and mounting it onto an actress card, which severely detracts from its value.

Also to note, the Burkett & Young cards are considered to be rookie cards, with only one known example of each making them impossible to collect. When I was doing the BB HOF RC collection for 10 years and reached about 85% complete, these were two of the ones that I never was able to acquire. The restored Burkett did come up for auction once, think it sold for around $12K which, in hindsight, maybe I should have bought it then if I could have afforded it at the time. Never had a chance at the Young, don't think that one has been offered publically in over 10 years, likely a six-figure card IMHO.
