In the six years between releases of the 1903 E107 Breisch-Williams and 1909-11 T206 White Borders editions, the best pre-war hobbyists could hope for are postcards such as the offered 1905 Souvenir Postcard Cleveland team composite. Graded Authentic by SGC due to barely perceptible trimming, this ornate rendition pictures twenty members of the squad with the legendary Nap Lajoie being the lone ballplayer profiled. With deference to a piece of tape along the right edge, the correspondence section is clean. One of only seven total copies judged by the third-party service.
