One of the more popular cards of this extremely are 20 card set issued by the Wolverine News Co., distributed to honor the reigning American League Champion Detroit Tigers. Getting his thirst quenched "at the water cooler" Tigers hurler "Wild Bill" Donovan is all smiles, as he lead the Tigers staff with a 25-4 record in 1907. 

The card has four very nice corners, and mostly smooth edges, but the lower left edge exhibits a heavy indented notch, and technically grades GD, but presents much better. Condition aside, the extreme rarity of this issue can not be overstated.
