Frederick Foto cards (larger format)
In addition to the smaller standard cards, there are larger format Frederick Foto cards such as the two I own below.
Not sure if they are actually proofs or perhaps they were cut from an advertising poster. Patrick

Frederick Foto was a Sacramento company so a lot of the players pictured have ties to Sacramento in some way but certainly not all of them.
The larger version of these I believe are actually the proofs that they used to make the small cards with. My copy you can see the ink or paint pen as a raised application on the surface of the card, and it is in the same spot as the name on the small/regular version. The best player not named Babe Ruth may be Alexander. I have never seen this card so I am not sure if that is Grover Alexander as I see no Alexander playing in the PCL in 1921. There is also the possibility that a card will be found of Sam Crawford, Lefty O’Doul or Gavvy Cravath as they were all in the PCL that year. Of the cards I have seen over the years IMO the best non Ruth card is one Leon just showed that was part of his collection (I now own it)... Ernie Shore. Shore was a popular Red Sox pitcher and one of Ruth’s fellow teammates and famously pitched a no hitter after Ruth was ejected from the game in the first inning for fighting with an umpire. Also interesting is that Joe Gedeon has a card and he was ejected along with the Black Sox after the 1920 season for knowledge of the fix.

Any significance to the cards with the Frederick Foto logo versus the handwritten caption?
