E90-1 set
Ed
One of the reasons for identifying the 1st series as a late 1908 issue is that CYoung was with Boston (AL) till FEB 1909.
There are also some other player transactions that indicate the 1st series cards were designed and printed Fall/Winter
of 1908.
Also included in this 1st series of cards are Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson. Why Joe Jax ? I base this on the fact that Connie
Mack and Daniel Lafean (founder of the American Caramel Co.) were very close friends. American Caramel was based in
Philadelphia. So, I don't think it is just a mere coincidence that most of the A's were issued in this 1st series.
Here are those A's......
