Will you be working on the set now?

No.

I don't want to offend anyone who has a lot of money invested in these ugly cards.

I'm sorry.

No offense taken SetBuilder! From a future post, I see that you find the W516-1 Ruth attractive...can we just agree to disagree on our style and taste of cards? I love that this thread has daylighted cards that I never knew existed. Thanks for sharing folks.

The Frederick Foto sets clearly seem to have been issued over a several year period.

Although I see it frequently listed as a 1921 set, Oscar Stanage didn't play for Sacramento until 1922. He played for Los Angeles in 1921.

Anyone else care to add to the date debate?

Thanks,

Patrick

Any players prove it's for sure as early as 1921? They obviously used older photos like the Ruth.

Interesting. Wondering if the cards with the label looking "Frederick Foto" on the front are from a different year than those with the hand-written looking "Frederick Foto" words? Do you have an image of the Stanage card?
