Mike, was your question so important that you couldn't wait until the auction was over?

Rick, my original question was driven by my never having seen the card type before. I am sorry if I "outted" an auction that you were involved in. It would have been hard to get armed with information to help me decide to bid or not....after it closed

The black line suggest a cut-out. I applaud the seller for being up front in the description.

Very cool item. What does the back look like? Is it a blank back?

In my opinion, these are uncatalogued because they're modern, i.e., not from the deadball era. Bliss (career ended 1912) and Hornsby (who must be the source of the "Rajahs" name; career began 1915) missed each other by several years.

There were several hobby issues of deadball players in the 50's and 60's. I doubt this card is older than that.

I'm with Bill on this one. The font and style just don't seem right to me. It lacks a crispness of true lithography.

There you go again, Bill, letting the facts get in the way of a good story. What are you, one of those pesky scientists who just have to base their conclusions on facts?
