Default A Great Board

Posted By: Jim VB

The lot from Lew includes 2 different versions of the Hubbell card. No one knows why for sure, but there are two different Hubbells. One is on thick postcard stock, like all the others in the set. One is on thin paper stock. The thin version is also printed with reverse side oriented opposite of the thick cards. (The schedule appears behind the feet vs. behind the players heads on the thick ones.)


Lew has guessed that they (the Giants) printed, or reprinted, Hubbell as some sort of promotion.

The thin Hubbell is very common. There are usually one or two on Ebay at any given time. Depending upon condition, I have paid anywhere from $20-$75 for this card ( I have a few.)

The thick Hubbell and all of the other players are very rare.

Edited to answer the actual question you asked - I already have a Walker, so yes, I'm now done. I still think of the set as 22, not 23. The thin Hubbell is "different".
