The article (as well as the cover for this issue) is illustrated with a variety of vintage cards of these HOFers extending back into the 19th century.
2) "A & G Premium Album A16: Showcase for all 50 N28 Cards" by Charles "JC" Clarke. This beautifully lithographed album contains card images of all 50 cards (including 10 baseball players) from the 1888 N28 set.
