Thanks - that's interesting. I've never seen any cataloged as such, as you said. The Standard Catalog has only identified Canadian cards as Type 5s. Will look for the previous Tigers post you referenced.

Difficult Example ---

This is the hardest of the Type 5 Tigers I think-- the left photo is the Canadian washed-out "matte finish" ; the "creamy" type 4 on the right has a slightly thicker "C" and "G" in the "Charles Gehringer"..... coffee helps. .. |

Great cards/photos - and relatively easy to spot the difference when next to each other.

I hope this ended up with a board member. One of my biggest regrets was selling this one. Great eye appeal for a "5"

My vote is for the R314 above, for two reasons: (1) it is to me by far the best looking of the contestants; and (2) I have owned one in nice shape for over 25 years. It is interesting to think that the image was undoubtedly taken in 1936, when he was just 17, and after the season was over, went home to finish high school! He would have won somewhere around 350 games but for his heroic voluntary service in WWII. Very, very underrated player!
Best always, Larry Last edited by ls7plus; 12-08-2018 at 10:26 PM. |
