Tobin Lithograph
Tobin Lithographs were a series of baseball cards released in 1887 and continued to be made until around 1889 or 1890. The cards featured heavily dramatized cartoon depictions of strange-looking baseball players in a number of different poses and scenarios, as well as their more well-known 1889 Babies set which featured a few baby versions of stars such as Cap Anson and King Kelly as well as fictional baby characters getting hit with baseballs.
A gallery of every card from the Babies set can be found here.
