All full issues unless otherwise noted (it will state "picture only" or "cover only" - meaning the image is on the cover without the full issue), most are the pink tabloid variety, and any player mentioned more than once, this is a different supplement - there are no duplicates. Some have no date listed as shown. Additionally, only a few of these are technically "supplements", including the 1903 Jack Cronin, with the majority full page "pictures" as mentioned in the title. This is an outstanding collection, with the overwhelming majority exhibiting light wear with NO large tears, missing chunks, torn edges etc.
