For some odd reason I decided that my next project is to collect every card possible of Tris Speaker with the image shown below. I am only 4 cards in and want to know how many I still have left to go. I tried looking at Old Cardboard and population reports to figure it out but got confused in the process. Any board members happen to know? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

The Tharps image is not mine but of the card I recently purchased, a late Christmas present to myself.

Isn't the ice cream images all the same for Yuengling's, Tharp's & Harrington's?
If so you need the Yuengling's & Harrington Speaker's

you'll need e210 York (x2) and a 1928 Sweetman--Jay is right, the ice cream issues of '28 share images. Also, I believe this m101-6 is the first and likely costliest of the Spoke cards you seek:

Thanks for the input so far. I had been only thinking of E and W cards and would have never thought of the M101-6. It is now moved to the top of my wantlist.
How hard are Sweetman's to locate? Dont see them as often as the other 3.

Theoretically Speaker can exist with that image on all the following sets, I have not seen copies of all of them and they may not all exist...

There are the following E121 Like sets...
-Holsum Bread
-Herpolsheimers
-D350-3 Standard Biscuit
-E121 Series of 80
-E121 Series of 120
-E122
-Witmor Candy
-Gasslers Bread
-Haffners Bread
-Clarks Bread
-Shotwell Mfg. (he's not among the two known subjects)
-Lou Gertenrich
-Leader Theatre (E121 style)
-W501
-W575-1A & B
-W575-1 w. Henry Johnson back
-W575-1 w/ Keating back

Then there are the following E120 like cards...
-V61 Neilson's (2 styles)
-E120 American Caramel
-W573
-Leader Theatre (W573 style)
-Cream Nut/Goodie Bread

then, as has been mentioned he would be found on all E210/W502 & Ice Cream sets...
-Yeungling's
-Sweetman's
-Tharp's
-Harrington's
-York Caramel
-W502 (blank backed (sometimes called 1928 W-Unc) or w/ play on back)
-Also, theoretically he could be part of the Greiner's Bread set if one were ever to be found--he is not among the known players)

Theoretically there should also be a Greiners Bread card of Speaker. (I didn't see Rhett mention this one, sorry 'bout that)

and a Cafe De Monde card too!!! Don't forget that one. :)

Thank you Rhett for the list, it is very much appreciated. Also thanks to everyone else for the scans, I don't think I have ever seen a Cafe Du Monde card before. Guess my latest project is like so many others I start, it can never be realistically achieved. Oh well, the hunt is the fun part.
