The patent date on the ornate red-and-white backs
identify this as a Mar. 25, 1913 issue. Fronts of the 2-1/2"
X 3-1/2" cards have a black-and-white photo and a pair of
baseball play scenarios used to play the card game. Corners are
rounded. The set contains 43 identified player cards, a group
of nine action photos in which the players are not identified
and two header cards. Nearly identical in format to "The
National Game" card set, this issue features a different
back design of a red-amnd-white line art representation of a batter.
The set originally sold for 50 cents. Hall of Famer Ed Walsh is
pictured on the card above in NM-MT condition.
