This is a 54-card complete 1914 Polo Ground game-card set. This rare game-card set is referred to as “The Polo Grounds” game because the back of each card features a green-and-white photograph of a game in action at the Polo Grounds. The set was produced by The Card Baseball Co., Inc., of Norfolk, Virginia. They named the set "All Star Card Baseball" and the box that housed these cards promised that the game is "Exciting! Interesting! Thrilling!" and "The Hit of the Season!" When issued, the game included a total of fifty-four cards representing thirty different players plus twenty-four duplicates along with an instruction manual. Armed with the instructions, youngsters could use the cards to play an exciting game of indoor baseball. This set includes all fifty-four cards, including the multiples (as issued) of several key stars (four cards of Honus Wagner, two Ty Cobb, etc.). The fronts have a sepia player photo plus a baseball “play” to determine the result of the player’s action. Incredible complete set of this classic issue which includes all the great stars of the day, including Joe Jackson, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, and an additional eleven Hall of Famers here is the list of players: WG4 Polo Grounds Set Checklist Jimmy Archer Home Run Baker Frank Chance Larry Cheney Ty Cobb Eddie Collins Larry Doyle Art Fletcher Claude Hendrix Joe Jackson Hughie Jennings Nap Lajoie Jimmy Lavender Fritz Maisel Rabbit Maranville Rube Marquard Christy Mathewson John McGraw Stuffy McInnis Chief Meyers Red Murray Eddie Plank Nap Rucker Reb Russell Wildfire Schulte Jim Scott Tris Speaker Honus Wagner Ed Walsh Smoky Joe Wood
