Sepia photograph by photographer Charles Martin Conlon In 1986, World Wide Sports of St. Louis, MO, in cooperation with The Sporting News, issued a 60-card set of standard format (2-1/2" by 3-1/2") cards in commemoration of the Exhibition BASEBALL IMMORTALS a feature of The National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution. Each card was made from a 4x5 glass negative of baseball's premier photographer - Charles Martin Conlon. In addition to the photographic artistry, the biographical information written by Paul MacFarlane on the card backs makes this card among the finest ever issued. Each permits a nice insight to the player and baseball of his era. Seldom offered as a set and scarcely seen for sale singly, only 12,000 complete sets were issued. This is a great opportunity to add a favorite player or two to one's collection. Perfect for the team and type card collector. _______________________ Important: Shipping Information A goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
