There will be three different poses-- the m101-4/5 group (19), E135 group (5) and m101-6.

I don't believe any strip cards show him with Boston, but could be wrong--there is a blank-back W-Unc that shows a Sox uniform and no caption and the Big-Head is non-descript. A couple cards like Frederic Foto might show a Red Sox uniform but still note him as playing with NY.

That's a good start--others can chime in.

FYI, the m101-4/5s would have the following backs:
Altoona Tribune
Blank
Block&Kuhl
Burgess- Nash
Everybody's
Famous&Barr
Gimbel's
Globe
Green-Joyce
Herpolsheimer
Holmes to Homes'
Indianapolis Brewing
Mall Theatre
Morehouse Baking
Sporting News
Standard Biscuit
Successful Farming
Ware's
Weil Baking

And the E135s would have the following backs: Blank, Boston Store, Collins-McCarthy, Standard Biscuit and Weil Baking

I have a card of him with the Yankees in 1921, two years after leaving the Sox, but he is still pictured in a Red Sox uniform. I don't know if you want to count this one.

...there's this from 1916. Taken at Laconia, New Hampshire after the 1916 season, Mayor Munsey is shown presenting a seven foot gold key to the city to Red Sox players pitcher Babe Ruth (identified as "Mr. Ruth, pitcher"), second baseman Mike McNally, outfielder Chris Shorten, catcher Pinch Thomas, first baseman Dick Hoblitzell, outfielder Tillie Walker, and second baseman Jack Barry. Also shown are J.E. Maynard of Draper & Maynard sporting goods and on the far right is an umpire. (For more, see http://www.sportingoregon.com/)

Harrington's Ice Cream using a 1916 file image from Boston's championship season, some years later. This should qualify because New York is not on the card.
