W600 Purchase of a lifetime (for me)! Would you restore?

I didn't look at every card in the lot, but obviously noticed the Gibson.

George didn't join the Pirates until 1905 (late June, but made his debut July 2nd). I'm not sure how quickly after that his cabinet would have been made available to the public, but that at least gets you into 1905.

My years were way off, I don't know where I got the year of 1905 from, Nap was in the league in thr 1800s so it makes it even more odd.

Interesting info about George though, so we know these were collected by the original owner into at least 1905
