It will be interesting to see the responses since it is about cards that are owned, not just known about.

Posted By: Dan BrettaIt's not prewar - I don't think any of my prewar cards could be declared "rare" - It's a 1956 Dick Stuart minor league card. I have two and I only know of 2 others and one of those came from Dick Stuart's estate. <img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Baseball%20in%20Nebraska/DickStuartCardSmall.jpg">

Posted By: Brian<<This Bug Shappe variation share the similar flaw on printer's plate as "Nodgrass" and "Murr'y" variations. On this Shappe verison, although the "R" was intended to be an "R" but it is not appear this way. The name on the front is supposed to read SHARPE, NEWARK, but instead reads as SHAPPE, NEWARK. Such variation was caused by broken printing plate or the ink was blocked by small particle and the ink was unable to fully printed on the cardboard. In fact, you can still see a hint of a "R", but collectors still consider such specimen as SHAPPE.>> I guess that wraps it up in a nice bow. Kevin, you sure to have alot of these T206 printing rarities.... Next time I am in Cali, maybe I can check them out.

Posted By: Bruce BabcockDan, the O'Day is an 1888 M117 Sporting Times card. 27 subjects are known. Some of the drawings are based on N172 photos though the Anson is based on his N28 pose. The O'Day card was a part of one of the lots in the Halper auction. The cards are 7.25" x 4.5". The Old Cardboard site has a scan of the Anson. These card were distributed with copies of the NY Sporting Times, a weekly newspaper. Tough cards to find! I've never seen one on ebay and can't recall seeing one at the National last summer.

You will know when you're at the next page as it will have a picture of your image and approx. 10 different URLs. Click the one towards the bottom that reads "Hotlink for websites" Copy this URL and then paste it into your network54 post and your image should show up
