Ted, I've got a bunch of cards like yours, including another Foxx and an uncut strip. I don't know what they are. There was much debate about them in this forum many years ago.

Hi Paul

Great collection of these rare cards. Thanks for posting all these guys.

The best I can tell you about them is they were issued Circa 1924-1925.

It's my understanding they printed on some sort of box (containing ? ?).

And, they all appear to have been hand-cut off this mysterious box.

Thanks Paul and Ted for your pics of these cards.

Earlier links about this unknown issue:

On the chart below I listed the players with the teams that they were on from the cards that were shown in an earlier post (post #763). The boxes that are marked with an "X" show what years that each player played for that particular team. I only showed 1925-39. Before and after that range is unnecessary. 1933 is the only year where every player played for the team that is shown on each of their cards. Therefore, unless these cards were issued over multiple years, I think 1933 is likely the year of this issue. I suppose 1934 could also be considered if this issue was based from the previous 1933 season. Although ... Al Simmons is listed as Chicago White Sox but his hat shows Philadelphia Athletics (played 1924-32). Hack Wilson is listed as Brooklyn Dodgers but his hat looks like Chicago Cubs (played 1926-31).

Albert L. "Al" Orth. Pitcher with the Washington Senators in 1902-1904. 204 wins and 6 saves in 15 MLB seasons. He was the MLB wins leader in 1906. He was known as "The Curveless Wonder" relying on control and differing speed.

He debuted with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1895-1901. His best season may have been 1901 with Philadelphia as he posted a 20-12 record with a 2.27 ERA in 281.2 innings pitched. He finished his career with the New York Highlanders in 1904-1909.

In the years before the National League provided for two umpires per game, it was not unusual for both teams in a baseball game to choose one of their players to alternate umpiring duties if the regular umpire failed to appear for the game. Orth sometimes served in this role and in one game umpired and pinch-hit in the same game. After he stopped playing, Orth debuted as an umpire in the NL in 1912 and in 1917 was the umpire when Toney and Vaughn each pitched 9 innings of no-hit baseball, the only time it has happened.

Like many of his Philadelphia teammates, following the 1907 season Orth jumped to the American League, signing with Washington. That fortunate decision allowed him to leave us this card.
