Overview

Sometimes called the "autograph on shoulder" series because of their facsimile signatures, these cards measure 2-1/8" x 3-3/8". Some cards have player team and position added to the name inscription. Some of the players available are Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb and Rogers Hornsby with a complete listing shown below.

The card set was given that number because of the classification by Jefferson Burdick in his book The American Card Catalog, an authoritative guide to trading cards issued prior to 1951.[2]
