Nice Irv in a 40 holder. It got sold with my collection but I remember buying it from Terry K senior, at a National approximately 17-18 yrs ago. He had this and a McGinnity for 1k each. I took Irv thinking at the time it was Cy. That was quite a few years back....

Yeah, that part I did know. Some of the black and white cards have the later variations like the Nicholls Philadelphia, which would indicate it was printed later. Likely a different set entirely.
