Item Description
1.5 x 2.625". The 1914 Piedmont Art Stamps baseball set bears a striking resemblance to the 1911 T205 Gold Border tobacco set and printed on an extremely flimsy paper stock. The backs indicate "100 Designs", but more than 110 players exist and a number of players are pictured in two different poses numbering the set to 118. The obvious difference between the Piedmont Art Stamp set and the T205 issuance other than the paper stock is the perforations at the edges of each card.

John Franklin "Home Run" Baker was an American professional baseball player. A third baseman, Baker played in Major League Baseball from 1908 to 1922 for the Philadelphia Athletics and New York Yankees. Although he never hit more than 12 home runs in a season and hit only 96 in his major league career, Baker has been called the "original home run king of the majors". Some career highlights include leading the AL in Home Runs from 1911-1914, leading the AL in RBI's in 1912 and 1913 and being a three time World Series Champion in 1910, 1911 and 1913. "Home Run" Baker was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1955.
