I collect only the 1911 OBAK cards since they have Bios on their backs. Here are some.

The 1911 set was the first I pursued, partly because overall I thought it had the largest % of jaw-droppingly beautiful, deep rich color cards of all the 3 years, but also because of the bios on the back. I always thought they were some of the corniest write-ups around, and I loved their frequent, inventive, and clever use of the word 'clever'. And the frequent stretching for something positive to say (I wish I were known for being clever at tagging baserunners and my ground covering tendencies, and who doesn't need more snap and vim in their life?). Here's some scans I recently found behind the walls when remodeling (found the scans, not the cards). The cards I actually found inside my computer. Somebody probably used them 105 years ago as insulation for delicate computer circuitry.

Are there any baseball cards more aesthetically pleasing than Obaks?
