Okay, near I can tell, this is a Ginger Beaumont German Art Stamp, c 1909-1910. Anybody know anything about these? Appreciate it, thanks! (PS: Yeah, I know, it's a fly-by-night Broder type.) ------------------------------- "The world is made for people who aren't cursed with self-awareness".

Not a Broder.

The Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards calls them "1909-10 German Baseball Stamps" because of a marginal annotation "Made in Germany" found on some stamps. It's a 36 player, 42-stamp set.

Searching images it is clear there are two parallel sets. One normal image. And one mirror image/text believed to be used as tattoos/transfers.

The catalog doesn't list the teams. Old Cardboard has some teams listed. So it'll take some research to complete a checklist. Or more internet searching to find a completed checklist.

UPDATE: I've researched all the teams and checklist is ready.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.
