t206 "brown/yellow" printer scrap - players?

Posted By: runscott

A fellow collector just told me that he also has the "brown yellow" version of the Elberfeld fielding card, so probably at least two sheets survived. If anyone has seen any other than the ones listed below, please let me know.

My thought is that there might have been several "brown/yellow" (red also, though hard to tell) sheets printed before the pressman realized that ink was missing (or had run out), since the Sweet Caporal ads were printed on the back. The ones I have seen are all hand-cut, so he figured out there was a problem prior to cutting and it looks like at least two sheets were saved from the scrap pile.

So far I know of:

Joss
Elberfeld (fielding) (2)
Chase (blue portrait)
Street (catching)
Harry McIntyre (Brooklyn & Chicago)

Well if it heps I have a Joss, M. Brown and an Elberfeld as well. Compiling a list of all the ones out there would be interesting.

It is the Doolan card. Gene McDonald sold it to me -- I thought he had others...

Scott:

I previously had a Gabby Street (catching) which I traded for a George Gibson Tip Top Bread card.

I also have seen a Red Kleinow (Boston) which was advertised a least twice in SCD about 5 years ago.

I saw the Murphy w/bat on EBay a year or so ago. Did anyone on the board pick it up? Please email me privately if so, I'd love to see if I could trade for it, buy it, etc. Thanks.
