Description: Complete factory setThe CONLON COLLECTION: 1915-1935 from The Sporting News100 Historic baseball portraits from the camera of Charles Martin Conlon*First set of the modern Conlon Collection cards in large format (4x5 inch) size From the early days of the dawning of the 20th century, the photographic artistry of Charles Conlon was featured in baseball guides, daily newspapers, monthly magazines and, of course, The Sporting News - then America's Base Ball paper of record.Conlon's work also appeared on baseball cards. After a 60-year absence from that medium, in 1981 The Sporting News created a 100-card set from original Conlon glass negatives. Issued in classic sepia, this is one of those cards.Cards are numbered 1 through 100 and are in a larger format (4X5 inch) size. Backs are blank.*The Sporting News began with this 100 card set. Later Conlon Collection cards were published by Marketcom, World Wide Sports and The Sporting News, Coca-Cola/Hardees, and, finally, Megacards, Inc. In all, nearly 3,000 different cards were issued from 1981 to 1995.Offered here is a complete 100 card setCondition: Near Mint/Mint This complete set consists of the following (HALL OF FAME members in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS):#1 TY COBB ~ #2 HUGHIE JENNINGS ~ #3 MILLER HUGGINS ~ #4 BABE RUTH ~ #5 LOU GEHRIG ~ #6 JOHN McGRAW ~ #7 BILL TERRY ~ #8 Stan Baumgartner ~ #9 CHRISTY MATHEWSON ~ #10 GROVER CLEVELAND ALEXANDER ~ #11 TONY LAZZERI ~ #12 FRANK CHANCE & JOE TINKER ~ #13 JOHNNY EVERS ~ #14 TRIS SPEAKER ~ #15 HARRY HOOPER ~ #16 Duffy Lewis ~ #17 Smoky Joe Wood ~ #18 HUGH DUFFY ~ #19 ROGERS HORNSBY ~ #20 EARL AVERILL ~ #21 DIZZY DEAN ~ #22 Daffy Dean ~ #23 FRANKIE FRISCH ~ #24 Pepper Martin ~ #25 Blondie Ryan ~ #26 Hank Gowdy ~ #27 Fred Merkle ~ #28 ERNIE LOMBARDI ~ #29 Greasy Neale ~ #30 Morris "Red" Badgro ~ #31 Jim Thorpe ~ #32 Roy Johnson ~ #33 Bob Johnson ~ #34 Mule Solters ~ #35 Specs Toporcer ~ #36 Jackie Hayes ~ #37 WALTER JOHNSON ~ #38 LEFTY GROVE ~ #39 EDDIE COLLINS ~ #40 Buck Weaver ~ #41 Cozy Dolan ~ #42 Emil Meusel ~ #43 Bob Meusel ~ #44 LEFTY GOMEZ ~ #45 RUBE MARQUARD ~ #46 Jeff Tesreau ~ #47 Joe Heving ~ #48 John Heving ~ #49 RICK FERRELL ~ #50 Wes Ferrell ~ #51 Bill Wambsganss ~ #52 Ben Chapman ~ #53 JOE SEWELL ~ #54 Luke Sewell ~ #55 Odell Hale ~ #56 Sammy Hale ~ #57 Earle Mack ~ #58 CONNIE MACK ~ #59 Rube Walberg ~ #60 Mule Haas ~ #61 PAUL WANER (actually pictures LLOYD WANER) ~ #62 LLOYD WANER (actually pictures PAUL WANER) ~ #63 PIE TRAYNOER ~ #64 HONUS WAGNER ~ #65 JOE CRONIN ~ #66 Joe Harris ~ #67 Dave Harris ~ #68 BUCKY HARRIS ~ #69 Alex Gaston ~ #70 Milt Gaston ~ #71 CASEY STENGEL ~ #72 AMOS RUSIE ~ #73 MICKEY WELCH ~ #74 ROGER BRESNAHAN ~ #75 JESSE BURKETT ~ #76 HARRY HEILMANN ~ #77 HEINIE MANUSH ~ #78 CHARLIE GEHRINGER ~ #79 HANK GREENBERG ~ #80 JIMMIE FOXX ~ #81 AL SIMMONS ~ #82 EDDIE PLANK ~ #83 GEORGE SISLER ~ #84 JOE MEDWICK ~ #85 MEL OTT ~ #86 HACK WILSON ~ #87 Jimmy Wilson ~ #88 CHUCK KLEIN ~ #89 GABBY HARTNETT ~ #90 Heinie Groh ~ #91 Ping Bodie ~ #92 TED LYONS ~ #93 Jack Picus Quinn ~ #94 Oscar Roettger ~ #95 Wally Roettger ~ #96 Bubbles Hargrave ~ #97 Pinky Hargrave ~ #98 WAHOO SAM CRAWFORD ~ #99 Gee Walker ~ #100 Homer Summa
