Great image. Is that from a newspaper?

Scott, are there any other W600 players with green mounts, or is Waddell the only one? Any explanation for why the unusual mount was issued at all? Thanks.

Yes, there are four different players known with the dark green mount, Fred Clarke, Lajoie, Waddell and Wallace. All are from the first issued year of 1902, perhaps the earlier issued ones came with this mount before changing to the usually seen one as we know them.

Thanks Scott.

In response to Michael (molenick), there is a premium by S.R. Church featuring exactly the same colorized picture of Waddell. It's stunning and rare. I used to own one but sadly traded it away. In the premium, the text on the right and left edges is missing, as is the "present" language at the top.

This is an ad for History of Base Ball, Vol. 1 (1845-1871) by Seymour Church (sometimes referred to as "the Church book"). As far as I can tell (from some online research) it was an inset to another of Church's books Analyses of Pig Iron or maybe an actual page in the book (although what I have is thicker stock than a book page and does not appear to have been taken from a bound book).

Philadelphia A's Lost the 1905 World series 4-1 with game 5 played on October 14th. 5 days later this card was mailed. One of the few Philadelphia A's team photos I have seen without Connie Mack. Wadell Topd row center.

Where’s Prizner when you need him! That SR Church “Premium” from the book is the best.

Here’s my contribution, although I could clearly use a photograph upgrade! Might need to work on that this upcoming weekend!!

Ha, admiring from afar. Although my favorite player, I don't really collect him anymore.

Sorry I saw this too late. Great item in our last auction that went quite cheap.
