1.5x2-5/8". Produced by the Philadelphia Caramel Company, the 30-card E96 card set was a highly anticipated follow-up to the company's successful E95 release.Like the prior year's series, each card in the E96 set features a full color art rendering of a player photograph framed by a white border with his last name, home city, and league printed along the bottom border. A checklist is printed in red on the reverse, with that color helping collectors easily separate the set. The checklist also features the printed addendum: "Previous series 25, making total issue 55 cards."

Mordecai Brown was an American Major League Baseball pitcher and manager during the first two decades of the 20th century (known as the "dead-ball era"). Due to a farm-machinery accident in his youth (April 17, 1888), Brown lost parts of two fingers on his right hand, and in the process gained a colorful nickname. He was a two time World Series Champion in 1907 and 1908. Mordecai Brown was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1949.
