Measuring Approximately 9" x 36" the card is matted and so hard to be exact on size. There is a window in the back of the matting that shows the postal indicia and the card was unused. It appears to have been stored rolled for some time resulting in cracking/creasing fairly regularly along the length of the card, but that does not heavily impact that amazing image of Cleveland's new League Park which opened in 1910 which appears to have been colorized.

Possibly a game action image which would include Nap Lajoie, Possibly Cy Young, but if it is an opening day piece it would not feature Shoeless Joe who came to the team later in the season. There are players on the field in position though it looks like a number of extraneous folks in foul territory as well.

Really one of the more unique items we have ever come across, and who knows when you'll see another one!
