Frank:

Have you seen enough to know whether or not all the players come in all the different card stocks?

Hey Frank,
This one will be in our upcoming auction: (woops, this is more to the front of the card, sorry 'bout that)

[fkw]

Also interested if anyone else has any of the Yellow, Pink, or Green ones?

Ive only seen 3 green, 1 pink, and 2 yellow,....... I own most of the ones Ive seen.

Didnt really notice the different colors besides the common white and gray colors until about a year ago, so these are new to me.

PS besides the ink color variations and card stock color variations, the back Ad cards have 2 different variations is the list of prizes (see both pictured above), and also some cards have numbers (Ive seen #3, #5, #9, and now #29).

Does anyone have cards with numbers on back... besides 3, 5, 9, 29?

Brad, No not 100% sure, just noticed the Green stock ones last year and have bought all 3 Ive seen since. Picked up the Pink and Yellow ones a few weeks ago.
I think all the players will be found in all stock colors, just like the ink colors.... I do have a green stock Frisch, and used to have the white and gray ones of Frisch too.


Leon, yes that Berger would be a White stock, with a back I call "type 2" Ad back.


PS ink colors seen are blue, green, red, orange

Frank, glad you are happy with the 2 green ones you got off me recently--I too hadn't seen many of them prior to picking up those two.

You will want to check with Lyman Hardeman about the ones with #'s on the back--as there was a fairly large group that hit ebay several years back that had the #'s and included in that group were some with a totally different offer back explaining the # system--if I remember correctly it didn't indicate a manufacturer (Rittenhouse likely was not the issuer of those cards). Also, I think the offer was only half explained on the back of one card so you had to get the left half of the offer on one card and the right half on the other (my memory is pretty good but I could have this detail wrong as I didn't bother saving the scans). Anyways, I was outbid on all of them at the time (they were all trimmed around the edges) but I'm almost positive Lyman ended up with at least a few of them so I'd check with him.

Not sure if this one is different from your Frisch or not...

[fkw]

Thanks Frank, I read about the "29" back doing a search on internet, but never saw a picture of it to confirm.

Rhett, I actually remembered seeing/reading something about 2 different sides of an offer back that had to be matched together to read, but couldnt find info on it again, and wasnt 100% sure I was remembering E285s...
Thanks for the info, and the 2 Green ones I got from you

PS I see there is one of the Yellow stock E285's on ebay with a BIN.
