If your thirst for Russell's Rustlers is not fully satisfied by the playing cards, you can move on to pocket schedules:

Do those player images come from Ludlow, Massachusetts or Ludlow, Vermont- or is there any way of knowing?

Judson, I am glad someone was able to make out the name on their uniforms...perhaps now we just need a New Englander among us to let us know which local Ludlow team the manufacturer hired to pose for the photos.

Cool! I can see why they would be upscale condos...that factory produced (in my eyes) some upscale baseball playing cards. Perhaps there is still a storage area that has not been opened in over 100 years near that smokestack that has a stash of these waiting to be discovered.

Those pocket schedules are even neater than the playing cards, and they are the ones that stretch the issue time line to 1910.

I have a small handful of these myself as they just are usually so inexpensive it’s hard to walk away.

I don’t have any schedules though, looks like I’ll be keeping an eye out for one.

It was the same with me...I figured I might as well add them to my collection. It was when I found out I actually had 5 of the 6 poses that it became a just slightly higher priority. If I do get any more it would be ones with the schedules as well.
