Nap Lajoie (affordable) recommendations?

It came as a game issued in 1913, and all 50 cards in the game feature the same image. Cards had either a red or blue tint to the Lajoie image (I don't think either is really more scarce than the other). So there are many of them out there, and they certainly can be found in high grades as a result of being issued with rounded corners, but the price definitely is right!

That same image was used for the E94 set, I would love to see the original photograph.

It sure is a nice price! And I like the image of him too.... the game back is kind of quirky and fun - adds some diversity to my HOF collection.

Do you/others have an opinion of the Fan Craze Lajoie? Also nice looking cards but seem to be quite a bit more than the game cards you suggested.
