    Sepia photograph by photographer Charles Martin Conlon
    In 1986, World Wide Sports of St. Louis, Missouri, 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 individually, 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.
    Condition: Near-Mint
