This A.C. Dietsche Detroit Tigers Near Complete Set has many of the cards contained in the set and was produced by the A.C. Dietsche Postcard Company of Detroit, from 1907 to 1909, to commemorate the 3 consecutive seasons that the Tigers won the A.L. Pennant. Unfortunately, the Tigers lost all three World Series.  There are three Detriot Tigers Hall-of-Fame players in the 1907 A.C. Dietsche Postcard Set: Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford and manager Hughie Jennings

Ty Cobb in the only player in the A.C. Dietsche Detroit Tigers Set with a variation.  Cobb was first printed in a harder-to-find fielding pose, that was quickly replaced with a more attractive postcard the features him in his batting stance.  The unnumbered postcards measure 3-1/2? by 5-1/2? and feature a black and white in-action photo of\r\nthe player in front of a black background.  

The A.C. Dietsche Detroit Tigers Postcards that were published in 1907 display the player's photograph, while the 1908 and 1909 postcards have the player?s last name added.  The backs of the A.C. Diestsche postcards have the player's name and a short biography, as well as the postcard legalities and dated copyright line.

What makes the 1907 A.C. Dietsche Detroit Tigers Set particularly collectible is that it contains Ty Cobb?s true rookie card.  Cobb is the only player with two poses in the 1907 Dietsche set. The Cobb fielding pose is significantly rarer, and considered a variation. It appears the Dietsche Cobb fielding pose was replaced with the batting pose early in the print run.
