The Rajah of Nagound indeed preceded Hornsby and is still available for all you Rajah collectors.
I like this one better Frank. It says sweet caporal on it, which reminds me of T206's, something this thread is obviously lacking

Edited to add: Check out the shadow on this card, looks like they started it and then said, eh screw it

I'll take my rajah over your rajah in a cage match and give you 3 to 1 odds.

I have become intrigued by the 50 semi-barbarous Kimball savages (N189) and while reviewing the images I found one savage that appears to be armed with a whisk broom. Nasty fellow indeed.

Default I was the seller

Hi, all. I was the seller. I want to say that I don't know bocacardman, but I think he had a fair question that did not materially effect the final price. Although my item recieved many more views, the people that were serious about the card were already on it and asking questions.

I want to thank Bob Lemke for weighing in with his knowledge on/of this series and would like to see any new information that anyone has on these.

I think Bill makes a valid point about Bliss and Hornsby's careers not overlapping. I can't remember if the Frank Chance card says 'Cubs' or 'Rajahs'. If it says 'Cubs' then I would move the series to around 1918 or so. The card is not from the sixties, perhaps my scan was not detailed enough and you would see what I mean if you were holding the card.

I had the ingenious idea to look up players with the last name Bliss, to see if any played for a minor league team named the "Rajahs" and while I found no matches, I did find this. Use this info for good only, no evil please.

Dick Bliss played for an 1894 California Players Lg team named the San Francisco Hot Peanuts. The team had an outfielder named John Fogarty, no mention if he played center field.

I swear if someone ever makes replica jerseys from the minor leagues, I am buying a SF Hot Peanuts jersey, along with a Utica Pentups one and half of the 1902 Missouri Valley League teams: Iola Gasbags, Jefferson City Convicts and Nevada Lunatics

The Iola Gasbags of 1902 became the Iola Gaslighters of 1903. There must have been an explosive accident as a result of this change for in 1904 they once again became the Iola Gasbags.
