Backs are printed in B&W and feature a large player portrait, complete major league stats and a career summary.  The cards measure 8" x10" with the photographic area measuring ~ 6" x 8 1/4".  The mat measures 12" x 14".
From

:
Charles M. Conlon was among the first to regularly shoot baseball games and players, and in doing so he became a singular name in photography. He was a proofreader for the
New York Telegram
in 1904 when his editor suggested he take a Graflex single-lens camera to Gotham’s ballparks. However, while his portraits of famous players including Ty Cobb, Lou Gehrig, Napoleon Lajoie and Babe Ruth would eventually be seen and distributed across the country, his own name remained largely anonymous until 1990. That’s when over 8,000 of Conlon’s photo negatives were found in the morgues of the
Sporting News
offices, and it was discovered that he was the man behind many of the game’s most enduring portraits. Grouped together, Conlon’s photos share a motif: They have a way of channeling the viewer’s attention directly to the player’s facial expression. The viewer gets the sense that he or she was there on the diamond with Conlon while he worked with the living legends.
I never use stock photos, photos are always of the actual item(s) you will receive.
