Posted By: <b>Paul C.</b><p>Thanks to email correspondence with several board members I've been able to obtain several card scans of my great-great grandfather, James H. O'Rourke. My goal is to collect an image of every one of his individual and team cards, but I'm currently stumped on a few. I'm hoping the net54 community can help me locate a scan of the following cards:<br><br>1. N175 Gypsy Queen, Catch, hands chest high<br>2. N173 Throw, R/hand head high<br>3. N172 Bat at ready, looking at camera, "3d B., New Yorks" (as opposed to the more common 'N.Y.' ) <br><br>And maybe the most difficult of all, these three O'Rourke cards are listed in the SCBC:<br>4. H812 1886 New York Baseball Club <br>5. H812 1886 W.H. Sanders New York Baseball Club <br>6. H812 1886 Welton Cigars N.Y. Giants <br> <br>James H's team photos needed:<br>1880 Boston (brothers James and John played on the same team)<br>1881 Buffalo Bisons<br>1883 Buffalo Bisons<br>1884 Buffalo Bisons<br>1886 NY Giants, J. Wood Cabinet with players wearing hats<br>1887 NY Giants<br>1893 Washington Senators<br><br>James H's brother John played one year in NY:<br>1883 NY Metropolitans team photo needed<br><br>James H's son, James 'Queenie' O'Rourke:<br>1908 NY A.L., Sporting Life team composite<br>(or any photo of him as a 1908 Highlander. He only played from 8-15-1908 to 10-8-1908.)<br><br>1911 T5 Pinkerton needed<br><br>A very big thanks to the following for their help so far:<br>1. Brad Green introduced me to Net54<br>2.
