The H 804-15 red border position
series trade cards were published and
copyrighted in 1887 by Tobin
Lithographs. The cards feature humorous
baseball illustrations for each field
position, batsman, and the umpire. The
14 cards were broken down into two
sets. H 804 15A has 10 cards,
1- (Pitcher.) Where D'ye Want It?
2- (Catcher.) A Wild Throw, 3- (Third Base.) An
Anxious Moment. 4- (Short Stop.) A Base Hit,
5-
(Left Field.) A Fine Catch 6- (Center
Field.) Oh What A Snap!, 7- (Right Field.) A
Daisy Cutter 8- (Batsman.) Shoulder High,
9- (Champion Spurter.) A Home Run, 10- (Umpire.) Not Out.
There might be two more cards in this
set, (First Base,) and (Second Base.),
but they have yet to surface into the
hobby.
The four known cards in H 804 15B are;
1- (Short
Stop), A Base Hit! 2- (Centre Field.) Oh,
What A Snap! 3- (Batsman) Shoulder High!,
4-
(Umpire) Not Out!. These cards have a different print
style, spectators in the background,
and no identifying number "9" at the
bottom right as set "A" has.
