This catalog entry corresponds to the card listed as "George Moriarty Detroit." Tobacco and caramel issues of this period circulated as advertising premiums rather than dedicated trading cards, and the subject's inclusion in the catalog reflects his standing within the rosters documented by the issuing manufacturers of the day.
