1909 E102 Set Of 25 Baseball Cards

The E102 set is almost identical to the E101 set, minus a trimmed roster. The manufacturer of this set is also unknown, as the back has no advertisement. Instead, the back reads "This picture is one of  a set of twenty five base ball players", and contains a checklist.  The set is actually considered to have 29 cards in it, as 4 players have two variations.  Although 25 players are missing compared to the E101 set, the majority of the hall of famers are still included. Cobb, Mathewson, Lajoie, and Wagner (batting and throwing) are all included.  Cy Young was unfortunately not included.
