1900 · Commercial color lithograph · Drawings and Prints

Baseball trade cards commonly known as "Baseball Comics," "Baseball Comics Up to Date," or "Mayo's Baseball Comics," from the T203 series. The set of 25 cards was issued in 1900 to promote Mayo's Cut plug or Winner Cut Plug tobacco brands. Each card verso carried an advertisement for either Mayo's or Winner Cut Plug, although the Mayo cards are much more common. Each card in this set is affixed to the original album page so that the verso advertisements are not visible. This card verso is an example of a Winner Cut Plug advertisement for the set.
