The first type is characterized by a sepia/brown hue, while the second type presents a black and white design, devoid of any text at the bottom.

Hack Wilson:

The Cubs selected Wilson during the Rule 5 Draft. This marked the beginning of a remarkable five-year period where Wilson led the National League in home runs four times and in RBIs twice. Standing at 5-foot-6 and weighing 190 pounds, Wilson cemented his legacy. In 1929, he topped the NL with 159 RBIs, helping the Cubs secure the NL pennant. The following year, 1930, he delivered one of the most outstanding seasons in baseball history. He hit 56 home runs, setting a National League record that remained unbroken for 68 years until the steroid era, and amassed a staggering 191 RBIs – a record for single-season performance in Major League Baseball that still stands – all while maintaining a .356 batting average. His season was filled with remarkable achievements, including a .723 slugging percentage, 105 walks, and a total of 423 bases.

1910-12 Red Cross tobacco t215

Number of Cards

Red Cross tobacco (T215) has 100 cards, which there are 11 Cubs players and 1 varation.

Size of Cards

measures 1 1/2" by 2 5/8."

Basic Features

These cards were launched in two separate series: one in 1910 and another in 1912. The Red Cross cards were packaged with Red Cross tobacco products. There are three distinct types of these cards: Type 1 features brown captions from 1910, Type 2 showcases blue captions from 1912, and Type 3 is recognized by its green ink 'Pirate Cigarettes' backs, which I believe were sold in England. According to well-known dealers and collectors, these cards were produced for servicemen deployed overseas and are part of a mixed T206 set. Very few of these sets exist.

To ensure you don't purchase a counterfeit piece of history, always obtain a professionally graded card from a trusted seller. Graded cards are expected to appreciate significantly in value over time.

1971 Kellogg's 3D Cubs Checklist (F286-2)

Number of Cards

1971 Kellogg's has 75 cards, which there are 5 Cubs players.

Size of Cards

The standard-sized cards are the following dimensions: 2-1/2" by 3-1/2"

Basic Features

These cards were included in specially marked boxes of Kellogg's Corn Flakes or Raisin Bran, with only one card per box. Unlike earlier collections, the 1971 Kellogg's cards were not available as complete sets through mail order, which has increased their value and made complete sets quite rare. The cards showcase a 3D design and are identifiable by their blue inner border, although the plastic card stock is susceptible to cracking. So, what makes these 3D baseball cards so special? Start with a cutout of a player, place a blurred background behind it, and then overlay a transparent plastic layer featuring ridges on top of the image.
