Here are a few of mine with an OBAK Pack

Here are the only players that I believe are pictured in all 3 sets...note that they used different artwork each year (Obak folks were not lazy). For each player the 1909 card is pictured on left, 1910 in middle, and 1911 on right

The OBAK guys got lazy between 1910 & 1911 if the player didnt change teams...new backs of course.

I'll show some of mine a bit later.
This is a great trio of card sets!

[brianp-beme]

Brian is correct. I guess they figured that since no team change no need to update...at least there is a different backside!

I grew up with my Grandmother spinning yarns of her Uncle, "the ball player." When I was a kid I got a photo copy of his one baseball cards, and I think a shot of his OBAK cabinet card. I researched him at the Hall of Fame, he was a decent pitcher who threw his arm out after pitching a Triple Header, no one got past Second Base, two shut outs and his arm literally fell off. I finally found and bought my first OBAK in 1998, bought one for Grandma, and the rest of the family and kept a couple for myself (of course).
