Presented here is an outstanding high-grade 1906 WG2 Fan Craze American League complete set of 52 cards. The 1906 Fan Craze set was among only a few card issues that helped to bridge that gap between the landmark 1887 N172 Old Judge set and the 1909-11 T206 White Border issue, a period in which a limited number of baseball card sets were produced. The set is notable for including some of the earliest known cards for many of its subjects, as well as for its superb portrait imagery courtesy of the great Carl Horner. The black-and-white portraits featured in this Fan Craze set are immediately recognizable to collectors, and they would become the basis for so many other sets of the era. 

The offered set is mostly NM-NM/MT with some better and only a few lesser. All15 of the Hall of Famers in the set have been graded by PSA with the results as follows; PSA MINT 9 (3): Willie Keeler, Napoleon Lajoie, Addie Joss: PSA NM-MT+ 8.5 (1): Chief Bender. PSA NM-MT 8 (6): Sam Crawford, Elmer Flick, Ned Hanlon, Connie Mack, Eddie Plank, Bobby Wallace. PSA NM 7 (4): Ban Johnson, Jack Chesbro, Jimmy Collins, Rube Waddell. PSA EX 5 (2): Clark Griffith, Cy Young. This set is relatively fresh to the market as it was last offered publicly in 1999 as part of the famed Barry Halper Collection.
