Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Picked this one up recently. In my 11 years of collecting pre war, I don't recall ever seeing another one of these. Does anybody else have one, or images of other cards from the set to share? Any checklists out there? Thank you.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e195/pgisme/1204857262.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>I know that Jim Clarke has one that he picked up a few years ago. Fred G. Wright was the same individual (obviously) that took the pictures for the Tylor postcards. This postcard is NOT part of that set, but a different issue alltogether. I have only ever seen the Donovan in this style, and I have seen at least 3 of this particular postcard (including the one Rhys just sold you) thus he is likely the only subject of this issue (at least until another player surfaces).<br />-Rhett

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Here is a scan of different Donovan (this pose is still uncataloged),<br /><br /><img src=http://centuryoldcards.com/images/taylordonovan.jpeg> <br /><br />This is a HM Taylor Postcard (like the Crawford above), but the front credits Wright as the photographer. <br /><br />I see them every once in while on eBay.<br /><br />Does your Donovan say HM Taylor on the back?<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>I just bought it yesterday, so I don't have it in hand yet. I have no idea what the back looks like, but will post a scan soon after it arrives.<br /><br />Just checked JC's website, & his 1908 Fred G. Wright postcard (same as mine) does not have HM Taylor on the back. The only markings are "postcard" & a stamp box. (thanks JC)

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>Like I said in my earlier post this postcard is not from the Taylor set. The printing on front is a completely different color and there is no mention of Taylor on the postcard anywhere. <br />-Rhett

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Yes, Rhett is correct. Also, it seems so far that Donovan is the only player in the set. Therefore, I have a complete set! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
