| Description: |
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." |
