16 Cards (Hand Cut)

Features 2 (two) chess player cards, #NNO. Bobby Fischer and #NNO. Samuel Reshevsky. The cards are unnumbered and have blank backs. They are meant to be pasted into the activity book. There are 5 variations for each player. There are 3 album types, a standard edition, a "Dark" edition and a perforated edition. The first two types have a dotted line and a non-dotted line page for each card. The perforated edition has 2 perforated cards with no dotted line cards. The perforated cards are easily discernable by the perforations around the card edges. The "Dark" Fischer's are darker in color, with the hair being blacker and the orange background being darker as well. In addition, the "Dark" variation has Fischer positioned more centered in the cards frame, whereas in the standard card Fischer's head is close to or touching the border. All 5 variations of the Bobby Fischer are shown above. Only the chess player cards from the album are listed here.
