| Comments: At my first
National, in Atlantic City, NJ in 2003, I purchased a SGC 86 example
of this card from seller Roger Burns/Four Star Cards. I upgraded
to this PSA 8 in March, 2007 when I won an eBay auction from seller
davidbvintage/David Bryan. |

One of the earliest 20th Century baseball card sets,
this 1904 issue from the Fan Craze Company of Cincinnati was designed
as a deck of playing cards and was intended to be used as a baseball
table game. Separate sets were issued for the National League, which
are printed in red, and the American League, which are blue. Both
sets feature sepia-toned, black and white player portraits inside
an oval with the player's name and team below. The top of the baseball
card indicates one of many various baseball plays, such as "Single",
"Out at First", "Strike", "Stolen Base", etc. The unnumbered cards
measure 2-1/2" X 3-1/2" and are identified as "An Artistic Constellation
of Great Stars." |
