This is a unique collectible created by an enterprising youngster (maybe) with superlative scissoring technique: four dozen roughly 5 ½-by-8-inch sepia-toned photographs of Windy City Depression Era stars from the southside and northside clubs. Headlined by Hall of Famers Gabby Hartnett, Dizzy Dean, Billy Herman, Tony Lazzeri and Ted Lyons, the images provide a compelling glimpse into a pair of legendary ball clubs; as noted above, the photos have been very neatly cut, providing a nice uniform presentation. The two-inch photo cutline providing a brief biography is missing from only a single photo (O’Dea). The alphabetical listing that follows combines both teams: Asbell, Berger, Boyles, Brown, Bryant, Carleton, Cavaretta, Collins, Dean, Demaree, Dietrich, Dykes, Epperly, French, Gabler, Galan, Garbak, Grimm, Hack, Hartnett, Hayes, Herman, Jurges, Knott, Kreevich, Kuhel, Lazzeri, Bill Lee, Thornton Lee, Logan, Lyons, Marty, O’Dea, Owen, Page, Radcliff, Remsa, Reynolds, Rigney, Root, Rosenthal, Russell, Schluter, Sewell, Steinbacher, Stratton, Walker and Whitehead.
