I know exactly what you mean Ted. I've attempted three back runs, and all three are missing the RED CROSS back.

PS- Merkle throwing
Bresnahan batting
Street catching, also missing the Red Hindu

GOOD LUCK...finding the RED CROSS (T215-1) cards. You'll most likely find the red HINDU Street before
you will find any of those RED CROSS (T215-1) cards.

If I intend to run the entire white-bordered route, I start by "reverse engineering" the run....that is to start by acquiring the RED CROSS first,
then follow up with all the rest of the cards.

For example, that's how I began my Dots Miller run with this T215-1 card. Only nine backs needed in the T206 group, of which I still need the
BROAD LEAF 350, CAROLINA BRIGHTS and DRUM (although, DRUM has yet to be confirmed for Miller).

OK, given the above list and the trades which resulted in new teams in the subjects captions (see post #580), let's see who is the Net54 genius
that can logically figure out the 1st series T215-1 cards which were issued in 1910.

And, as a result we will identify which cards were issued in 1912.....besides these 15 whose team changed from their T206 counterpart...…

Byrne Pittsburgh
Harry Davis Cleveland
Donlin (bat) Pittsburg
Griffith (bat) Washington
Hartsel Toledo
Herzog New York NL
Huggins (portrait) St Louis NL
Lord Chicago AL
Harry McIntyre Chicago NL
Matty McIntyre Chicago AL
Mowrey St Louis NL
Oakes St Louis NL
Frank Smith Cincinnati
Steinfeldt (bat) St. Louis NL
Cy Young (glove) Boston NL

Hi Ted, isn't there a RED CROSS Bresnahan batting in the 350 Series?

[tedzan]

Sean

The Bresnahan that you are referring to is found only in the T215-2 set. I have never seen a T215 Bresnahan (with bat) with a BROWN caption.

I always double-check my T215-1 data by referring to the PIRATE set of cards (which are a known quantity, and are essentially a mirror image
of the T215-1 cards).
