Issued in 1887 by Chas. Gross & Co. of Philadelphia, the N693 set contains a total of six team cards. The N690’s are the same carte de Vista (CDV) size as N690s.

It is believed that these scarce cards were packaged inside boxes of Kalamazoo Bats cigar boxes. These boxes are incredibly difficult to locate. Since 1995, I have only been able to document the existence of four boxes, only one of which being sold at public auction.

Approximate value of an empty box would be $1500.00+.
