This year SABR held its summer conference in Cleveland, one of my favorite baseball cities for various reasons. I used that impetus to research, design, and print my first physical card set, which features players and sites connected to Ohio's long history with the game. This card shows a Joe Jackson pose I'd never seen before from his early MLB career.

Each of this set's 12 cards uses the modern 3.5"x2.5" size, thick stock, and a satin finish for easy handling. My set's tobacco-era design and photography is inspired by T222 Fatima and the site includes original research into that set that complements the cards. See front and back previews for all cards a notablebaseballsubjects.com/cleveland. My favorite is probably the Nap Lajoie pose from a spring training visit to the zoo in Macon, Georgia, circa 1907.
Most available stock sold in person at the National and a modest number remain at $20 plus shipping. Once you've checked out the set's images, you can order them using notablebaseballsubjects.com/request or by emailing glidden dot matthew at gmail. Thanks in advance for supporting this kind of research!
