These are the only cards featuring baseball players in the large multi-subject set produced by Susini, circa 1917. The exact date of issue is unknown, although most believe it to be around 1916 to 1918. Speaker appears to have a patch on his left sleeve that may relate to World War One.
This auction is for cards #201, #202 and #203. Card #202 features the Grey Eagle himself, Tris Speaker. Players on the other cards are unknown. There has been speculation that card #201 is Rogers Hornsby, but we do not believe that to be true.
The backs have some staining with the Speaker card being in the best condition of the group. Card #201 also has some paper loss on the back.
There are two versions of these cards: colorized and uncolorized. These cards are the colorized versions.
Note: Speaker should be called out for stepping out of the batter's box.
