With its exceptional design, this memorabilia is a must-have for enthusiasts of the sport and collectors alike. The card celebrates a remarkable season, encapsulating the spirit of the MLB World Series and the storied careers of both the Boston Red Sox, the New York Yankees, and Babe Ruth. With only 9 known in existence this item, once authenticated, will be the highest of its kind to date. This item listed meets all the card details below as well. The 1916-20 W-UNC “Big Head” Hand Cut baseball card set consists of 20 cards measuring 1-3/8” by 2-1/2”, hand-cut from strips. Each card displays a cartoon-like likeness of the player, with an exceptionally larger cranium, from where the name is derived, with his name also printed within the image. The player depictions are printed in color against an ivory-colored paper stock that somewhat dulls the vibrancy within a black outlined border centering the image. The approximate date as to when these unnumbered, blank-backed cards were produced is unknown as there are no team designations on the cards.
