1921-30 Major League Ball Die-Cuts Overview
Major League Ball Die-Cuts -The 1921-30 Major League Ball Die-Cuts set is an issue that spanned over many years throughout the 1920s.

The die-cut cards featured the names of specific players but the cartoon renderings were used over and over for various players over the years. Because of that, they’re part generic and part player-specific. And because images were reused over and over, it is practically impossible to determine all of the years of all of the cards in the set.

In addition to basic information about players, the set also included some unique things such as the player’s batting side and their order in the batting order.

The cards featured color images using relatively dull colors. Each die-cut had a square printed at the bottom with the player’s name, position, and team. While they all had the same general look, it’s worth pointing out that some of the fonts used for the player’s information at the bottom varied a little.

Thanks for the reply here, and all of the other replies too.
These die-cuts are monstrous set/issue, and seems like there are plenty of unknowns still in regards to it. I really like all of the eccentricities of the Die-Cuts and tried to punctuate my post with numerous question marks and my main hope was to have some lively dialogue---and so far, so great!
Cheers everyone

I consider this Ray Caldwell Cracker Jack his rookie card, as it definitely fits the thicker than paper requirement, being that it is mounted on a 5/8" thick wooden plaque. Unless, of course, it is actually a 1915 and not a 1914 Cracker Jack card. My jigsaw has been itching to uncover the card's backside orientation. Ray's 1913 felt pennant I believe does not qualify for rookie card status, as felt is not easy to shellack.

Very nice piece. I have a couple of letters signed by FDR which the original recipient thought would be a neat-o idea to do that to.
