Offered is a near complete set of B18 blankets. These 5 ?” square flannels were issued in 1914 wrapped around several popular brands of tobacco. The flannels picked up the nickname “blankets” because many of them were sewn together to form bed covers or throws. There are 87/90 players present in the set. Lot contains three players with two different variations. There is only one double-a Ty Cobb white infield! Includes: Chance (EX-MT), Chapman yellow flags (EX-MT), Carey purple pennants (VG), Cobb white infield (2) (VG to VG-EX & FR), Demmitt brown infield (VG), Huggins purple pennants (EX), Joe Jackson (VG, the top brown border is mostly gone), W. Johnson (FR), O’Neill yellow pennants (VG-EX), Stengel blue infield (EX), Wallace (VG-EX), Wheat green infield (EX-MT), Wilson yellow pennants (EX-MT). 20 blankets have a small amount of paper stuck on verso. Blankets average 70% EX to EX-MT, 30% VG to VG-EX, a few lesser.
