1-13/16" X 2-3/8 in size these cards were unusual in shape for the era. More square the most cards issued. These cards are very scarce today because they were a regional issue in 1910. They had "World Champions" on the front and the back of the cards had a check list of the 25 cards in the set. The back also had an advertisement for Tip Top Bread. Today it is hard to find any of these cards in decent shape under $400.00 a piece. The Wagner card is commonly sold for $3000.00 to $4000.00 or more. In the American Card Catalog the cards are designated as D322's. They were produced by the Ward Mackey Company and were awarded for collecting 50 Tip Top bread wrappers. The have a thin white border and have an attractive pastel lithograph image.
