Shameless Request - Show me your E223 (G&B) or N403 (Yum)

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Joe_G.</b><p>Two extremely difficult issues that include cards of some of my favorite Detroit players. If the elite few that have examples of these cards don't mind, please share a couple new poses with us, especially any of the Detroits. Thank You !<br /><br /><b>1888-89 E223 G&B Chewing Gum Detroits</b><br />- Lady Baldwin<br />- Dan Brouthers<br />- Charlie Getzien<br />- Ned Hanlon<br />- Sam Thompson (Detroit?)<br />- Larry Twitchell (Cleveland?)<br /><br /><b>1888 N403 Yum Yum Tobacco Detroits</b><br />- Lady Baldwin<br />- Dan Brouthers<br />- Charlie Getzien<br /><br />At least those are the catalogued examples.<br /><br />If I understand these two sets correctly, all the Detroits are line drawings since they are all action poses, no portraits. The E223 Twitchell with Cleveland is a portrait, so I assume it is an actual photo. I'll get it started by showing the LOC example of Getzein's Yum Yum. Due to the rarity, I'll understand if I get no replies, but I'm hopeful.<br /><br /><CENTER><img src="http://memory.loc.gov/pnp/bbc/0500/0560/0567fr.jpg"></CENTER><br /><B><CENTER>1888 N403 Yum Yum Tobacco</CENTER></B><br /><B><CENTER>Charlie "Pretzel" Getzien</CENTER></B><br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Joe Gonsowski

Posted By: <b>Bruce Babcock</b><p>Actually, I own all those cards, Joe. <br /><br />(Just kidding!)<br /><br />I would enjoy seeing any of those. I've never owned a G&B and have 2 N403s but no Detroit players.

Posted By: <b>Joe_G.</b><p>Check out Mr. Masson's SGC Registries . . .<br /><br /><b>E223 (69% complete)</b><br /><a href="http://www.sgccardregistry.com/index.asp?action=3&setcategory=1&setid=652&usetid=1978" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.sgccardregistry.com/index.asp?action=3&setcategory=1&setid=652&usetid=1978</a><br /><br /><b>N403 (71% complete)</b><br /><a href="http://www.sgccardregistry.com/index.asp?action=3&setcategory=1&setid=651&usetid=1976" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.sgccardregistry.com/index.asp?action=3&setcategory=1&setid=651&usetid=1976</a><br /><br />To accumulate more than a couple would be a feat few of us could achieve let alone a majority of the known set !?! Hats off, congrats and thanks for sharing. Just wish there were more pics.<br /><br />Richard & others, I have a question on SGCs checklist. They list a N403 portrait of Lady Baldwin (Detroit). Is it possible that they listed this in mistake?, no one else seems to list such a variation. Others only list Lady Baldwin in a pitching pose (both E223 & N403). There is an E223 of Mark Baldwin of Chicago as a portrait in civilian clothes. Perhaps the N403 Baldwin portrait entry is supposed to be Mark Baldwin, a match to his E223 card. If this isn't a mistake, it would be the only Detroit card in E223 or N403 that isn't a line drawing (I believe).<br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Joe Gonsowski

Posted By: <b>Bruce Babcock</b><p>Wow! I had no idea anyone had this many of either issue. Not to mention the dozens of other sets Richard has on the SGC Registry.
