Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>Thought that some of you might enjoy a new game called "Name that Card." <BR><BR>The game works this way. I have selected one of my cards, and have cropped the image so that the players name, team, and face are not seen. Next, I have posted the cropped image to see if I can stump the expects. <BR><BR>If someone identifies the player, and the card set then they get to post their cropped image, and the game continues. (Since some images may have multiple team designations, the player and card set is all that will be required for positive identification.<BR><BR>Name that card!<BR><BR><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1072312975.JPG">

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>Think it's time to institute a rule that if you answer correctly once you need to wait awhile (maybe a week or so) before answering again, unless everyone else is stumped. Otherwise, everyone will lose interest if it's dominated by the same few people.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>Jeff S</b><p>1. I'm pretty sure that's a T201, but I don't know which card.<BR><BR>2. The responses are on the far right of the screen because each response is set a little further to the right, and we've responded to responses to responses to responses, etc. Usually threads to do not go so long and/or people do not respond in such a way to create this kind of alignment hierarchy. Problem is easily solved by starting another thread.

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>Well, it's NOT a triple folder--because all the color is in portraits in them. In attention to detail, it looks like a T3 (but we've already been told it's not). I guess everyone has noticed that the catcher's left shoe-tongue climbs halfway up his ankle, while the right one is normal length. I'd guess (and it really is that) that's it's a E-101 or 102 (because of the "hint)."<BR>It can't be 19th century, of course, because the catcher's mit had not yet develped any size or depth yet (I had originally thought S.F. Hess California League, but there's no WAY). The mit perfectly matches those in T3s (as I am only too well aware at the moment!)

01-12-2004, 02:02 PM
Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>I was thinking Bresnahan too, but from the scan, it just doesn't seem to be vintage, but more like a modern card done in a vintage style.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>unless it's a modern card OF A DEAD BALL ERA CATCHER--you don't think it looks like a lithograph? I do.<BR><BR>The notebook cover would explain a lot--we would have been fooled by the deceptive smallness of the picture.<BR><BR>So how about ti? A notebook cover of R. Breshnahan?

Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>Great guess Brian. I have two of these 1910 era Notebook Covers that are similar in design to the Turkey Reds. I have them both matted and framed. <BR><BR>You are up!<BR><BR><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1073863045.JPG">

Archive
01-12-2004, 06:02 PM
Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>The notebook covers are matted with a different color matt with changes the look a little bit. The first notebook also is a little dirtier looking.

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>Could this be a M101 Sporting News Supplement? The card lists I could find seem to track the more famous players near the scandal, which doesn't fit well with "obscure."<BR><BR>

Posted By: <b>brian p</b><p>Not a Sporting News Supplement. Like the supplements it is a nice photographic image, but it has more typical 'card' dimensions. The player has no connection with the Black Sox scandal, but was indeed involved in a much less remembered baseball scandal of his own. I'll give you folks a couple more days before I start throwing out hints.<BR><BR>Brian
