Some Questions about Vintage Cards that Keep Me Awake at Night

Posted By: HW

Hal, I think that the backs were printed upside down so that they could still be read after the cards were pasted in an album. If the top edge of the card was attached to the Cracker Jack album, its owner could still flip up the the bottom of the card and read the biography.

John, I have no idea why Lajoie was included in the 1933 Goudey set. Speaker is also included, but I think that he was still toiling in the minor leagues at the time. The T204 set is also void of many of the stars also (no Cobb, Mathewson, Lajoie, etc.) Johnson is in the E300 Plows set, but I do not think that he is any any others until the 1920's.
