Overall the 1923 WG7 Walter Mails Game cards have lower quality photo images of the players. I like the look of my full sized type card of Heinie Groh (I also have a few others that are cut down to just the photo), but the images and wildly inconsistent graphic design on a quite a few of the 56 cards are humorous, horrible and head-scratching (which of course is the coveted 3 'H' designation), as seen in the sampling below.
