These postcards feature gorgeous, large PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES of baseball players. Cards of that time were all artists renderings that often didn't look at all like the player. It is amazing to me how rarely this is brought up. Cobb's actual photographic image didn't appear on a standard card until 1916 as far as I know (please correct me if I am wrong). I'm pretty sure it's the same for most, if not all, of the HOFs in this set. This is a beautiful set.
