Half of the 20 cards added to the original 100 cards of the E90-1 set do exhibit a
somewhat different "close-up" look than most of action portrayals of the players in
this set. Duffy, "Peaches" Graham, Mike Mitchell, and Cy Young (Clev) for example.
Also, these cards have just plain colorful backgrounds. So, your comment may well
be true.
Here is a list of the 20 cards that I think were added to this set; and, for unknown
reasons were definitely short-printed (as compared to the 1st 100 cards in the set).
Fred Clarke........2nd card....corrected team to Pittsburgh
Hugh Duffy........Became Manager of Chicago (AL) in 1910
George Gibson....2nd card (back view)....Pittsburgh
Jerry Upp..........1-year career with Clev. (in 1909)
Ed Walsh...........Chicago (AL)
Vic Willis...........Traded to St Louis (NL) in 1910
Cy Young..........2nd card....traded to Clev. in 1909
Boston Players excluded in the 1st Series....
Peaches Graham (NL)
Ed Karger (AL)
Dave Shean (NL)
Tris Speaker (AL)
Jake Stahl (AL)
Bill Sweeney (NL)
Cincinatti Players excuded in the 1st Series....
Larry McLean
Mike Mitchell
All 5 Horizontal cards in set I think were printed in Last Series....
Buster Brown.......Boston (NL)
Charlie Hall..........Boston (AL)
Addie Joss..........1910 was his last year (2nd card)
Willie Keeler........depicted as NY Giant (3rd card)
Johnny Seigle......Cinc.
Note....On the Horiz. cards I am not as certain about Hall and Seigle;
but, then I cannot come up with two more cards to this list.
Anyone want to venture some other candidates to this "toughies" list ?
