Searching for a "Pirate" Cobb....show us these extremely rare "T215" cards ?

Ted's comment reminded me of a T215-1 Red Cross McIntyre I recently picked up. Note that the image is the same as the T206 McIntyre Brooklyn & Chicago, but the caption is McIntyre, Chicago Nat'l.

I'd be interested to know:

a) If there is also a T215-1 Red Cross with the Brooklyn & Chicago caption (which would indicate a caption change during the print run OR two separate print runs).

b) If the Pirate back version has Brooklyn & Chicago in the caption, or just Chicago.

Well Craig,I'm glad you brought this up.I don't have the answer,but looking at the checklist I'm using (as stated above in my last post),it says this:

McIntyre, Chicago Amer.,,,,Pirate back T215

McIntyre, Bkln. and Chicago Nat'l ,,,,Pirate back T215

McIntyre,Chicago Nat'l ,,,,,Type 1 T215

Is there a T215 McIntyre with just a Brooklyn only designation?

Hey Clayton,

I suppose I should have checked my Lipset Vol 3 first before posting. Looking at it now, it agrees with what you posted in regard to McIntyre. But since the copyright date is 1986, there may have been new finds since.

Best Regards,
Craig

Too much guesswork going on here. Here's the checklist of the Pirate set of 96 cards (plus the Byrne variation).
To date, no Cobb (Red portrait....or, Bat off shoulder version) has been confirmed.

My theory is that there was at least two press runs. One in 1910 and the 2nd in 1911. Check-out the following
trades........

Buck Herzog.......from Boston NL to New York NL on July 22, 1911
Miller Huggins.....from Cinci to St Louis on Feb 3, 1910
Matty McIntyre....from Detroit to Chicago AL on Jan 12, 1911
Rebel Oakes.......from Cinci to St Louis on Feb 3, 1910
Frank Smith........from Boston AL to Cinci on May 11, 1911

Hi TedZ,

Thanks for the updated Pirate checklist,I do appreciate the time and effort you put into that-thank you.

Of course,as usual,I'm a little confused about something.In post #38,you said there is a McIntyre Brooklyn and a McIntyre Brooklyn & Chicago.Did you mean to say Chicago and Brooklyn & Chicago instead? Or is there a McIntyre Brooklyn?

Also,confusing me even more,in the checklist you just produced,you say there is a McIntyre Detroit? Maybe you are just messing with me ,,,,,but if not-please clarify?

Thanks,
Clayton

[tedzan]

Clayton

Would I be "messing with you" ? .....Not in at all


The Detroit listing is of Matty McIntyre.

In my prior post I mis-stated McIntyre (Brooklyn)....it should have been Matty McIntyre (Chicago Amer.)


I will edit my checklist to add their first names.


Regards,

M.Brown,Chicago,,,,,and

Byrne,St.Louis

Thanks again!!

Sincerely,Clayton
