Posted By: <b>James Walker, Jr.</b><p>Need help with two different items for the N284 (Buchner Gold Coin) set.<BR><BR><b>The first item</b>. While compiling my list I noticed something odd about the Jumbo McGinnis card. The team and position listed does not match the time frame of the set which was issued in 1887. "Jumbo" is listed as playing for St. Louis, which he did however it was from 1882-1886. Next, the card has him listed as a catcher. According BaseballReference.com, "Jumbo" never played a game as catcher. Here is a break down of positions played during his tenure at St. Louis:<BR><BR>1882 - Pitcher 45 Games, Outfield 6 games, and 2nd Base 1 game<BR>1883 - Pitcher 45 Games and Outfield 4 Games<BR>1884 - Pitcher 40 Games<BR>1885 - Pitcher 13 Games and Outfield 1 Game<BR>1886 - Pitcher 10 Games<BR><BR>He also played the following positions for these other teams:<BR>1886 Baltimore (AA) - Pitcher 26 Games and Outfield 2 Games<BR>1887 Cincinnati (AA) - Pitcher 8 Games<BR><BR>For "Jumbo's" career he pitched in 187 Games, played in the outfield for 13 Games, and played 2nd Base for 1 Game.<BR><BR>As a side note, BaseballReference.com does list the 1886 season as having "partial results". So possibly the missing results are some games where he did catch.<BR><BR>Any thoughts on this?<BR><BR><BR><BR><b>The second item</b>. I'm trying to complete a "virtual set" of the N284's and need scans of the cards listed below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Once I have scans of all the cards, I will be creating an e-Book of the set to share with all collectors.<BR><BR>Ed Andrews (Hands at Neck)<BR>Dan Brouthers (With Bat)<BR>Tommy Burns<BR>Cliff Carroll<BR>John Clarkson (Ball at Chest)<BR>Roger Connor (Hands Outstretched)<BR>Sam Craig (Crane)<BR>Sam Crane<BR>Crowley<BR>Ed Cushmann (Cushman)<BR>Con Dailey (Daily)<BR>Jerry Denny (Hands on Thighs)<BR>Sure Shot Dunlap<BR>Sid Farrar<BR>Charlie Ferguson<BR>Silver Flint<BR>Chris Fulmer<BR>Pete Gillespie (Batter)<BR>Barney Gilligan<BR>Frank Hankinson<BR>Joe Hornung<BR>Cutrate Irwin<BR>Arlie Latham<BR>Bill McClellan<BR>Jim McCormick<BR>George Meyers (Myers)<BR>Candy Nelson<BR>Little Nick Nichol<BR>Orator Jim O'Rourke (Hands On Thighs)<BR>Jimmy Peoples<BR>Fred Pfeffer<BR>Bill Phillips<BR>Henry Porter<BR>Blondie Purcell<BR>Old Hoss Radbourn (Hands above Waist)<BR>Hardy Richardson (Hands above Head)<BR>Yank Robinson<BR>Emmett Seery (Hands Outstretched)<BR>Joe Strauss<BR>Marty Sullivan<BR>Billy Sunday<BR>Ezra Sutton<BR>Big Sam Thompson (Hands Chest High)<BR>Monte Ward (Hands On Knees)<BR>Art Whitney<BR>Ned Williamson (Fielding Grounder)<BR>Dandy Wood (Stealing Base)<BR><BR><BR>Thank you,<BR>James Walker, Jr.<BR><BR>Updated wantlist - June 18, 2004
