Help identifying 1910 issue

The way I read it, that centerfold constitutes the "Portraits" included with the Fall Fashion Magazine. They are 'framed' artistic renderings of the players. I doubt they were issued individually; nor were there head and shoulder "portraits" as we would typically refer to T206 images.

Agreed. Mystery solved. And wonderful piece!

I don't agree that it is solved. The ad states you get the magazine AND the portraits, not the magazine with portraits inside. This, along with the fact they are not really portraits, leaves it an unsolved mystery, in my opinion.

It says "together with" the magazine, implying an insert, and the printed frames would justify the designation "portraits," IMO. But you never know, and I would certainly not want to discourage any efforts to unearth possible individual examples despite the fact that none have surfaced in the ensuing 100+ years.

Seems to me I've seen that Cobb pose on another collectible. I was thinking perhaps it was mistaken for a Baseball Magazine poster. I was thinking there might have been posters or photos sent with the catalog??
