Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>After a long hunt, I found the Young Boston in very nice shape (clean back too) for a very reasonable price. I can finally close the chapter on the E97 set although I still have a few blank backs and black and whites to go, the main set is done <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/trophybob/lf.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br><br />

Posted By: <b>Bob Rund</b><p>Congratulations, Bob completing this set. The Young card looks nice.<br /><br />I was curious why the card shows Young left handed? Is this one of the variations of the set?<br /><br />Also, I've noticed the card has Young with the Nat'l Boston team but he was with that team for the last half of 1911. Was that a variation too?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Bob.<br />

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Bob,<br />It shows him as left handed because the photo is actually of Irv Young, not Cy Young. See the T206 Irv Young for comparison.<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>Bruce MacPherson</b><p>Congrats Bob,<br /><br />Completing the set is quite an accomplishment. Also good to know there is less competition for me. I am down to two including that Young. At the risk of outing an auction, I see there is one on ebay, but I am not sure you can trust a seller with such low feedback:)
