Introduction
Baseball fans know that some of the sport's best stories come from the fabled Deadball Era: 1901-1919. These were the days of Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Cy Young and Walter Johnson. Of playing small ball, the stolen base and hitting over .400. Of McGraw and his mighty Giants. Of Tinker to Evers to Chance and the Merkle "bonehead" play. Of the "The Big Train" Walter Johnson who pitched with a heart of gold, of the genteel Christy Mathewson cut down before this time and an up and coming young lefthander name of Babe Ruth.

These two packs contains 36 cards dedicated to the era's greatest stars, including

Ty Cobb Babe Ruth Honus Wagner Cy Young Shoeless Joe Jackson Walter Johnson Tris Speaker Christy Mathewson Grover Alexander
