Default German Baseball Stamps

Does anyone have the checklist for the obscure 1909 German Baseball Stamp Set?
Old Cardboard Site shows 36 in the set, while CenturyOldCard site states there's 43 cards.

Any help would be appreciated.

Erik, I believe that there are 36 stamps in the set with named players. Another group of about 7 stamps that depict baseball equipment (ball, bat, glove, etc.) were also issued as part of the set. I believe that explains the difference in the checklist totals. If you find differently, please let me know.

I hope to update the Old Cardboard website in the near future to add a checklist for the German Baseball Stamps and to note the existance of the non-player stamps. If anyone can supply the team labels for all 36 players in the set, please let me know and I will also add those notations to the checklist.

Thanks, Lyman

I believe there are actually two different sets that we refer to as the 1909-10 German Baseball Stamps. The first is like the one on Old Cardboard (& the one pictured below) with one name & team on front, the second being the variety like on Frank's site where the name & team are written twice. I have seen the same player in each version and the pictures (while they are the same) are printed in different colors, and in at least one case (Shannon) the team was different.

The one below I own and he is pictured for Boston, which is odd & I always wondered if it was a mistake and was meant to be Spike Shannon who was with New York from 1906-08, A few months ago there was an uncut sheet on ebay of the double named variety (which I believe are actually easier to come by) and Shannon with the same pic as mine was listed for New York, which solves the riddle as to who the Shannon was in the set, the colors on the two were totally different as stated earlier. There is a Joe Shannon that played for Boston for 5 games in 1915, and a Red Shannon for Boston that played in only one game, but that seemed like an unlikely date of issue, due to the player selection.

I should add that I have seen a Cobb with double name so there is likely other players not listed that exist.

The checklist in the 2008 SCD Catalog shows 36 different players and 6 different equipment stamps. Including the 2 different Bresnahan stamps (light shirt and dark shirt) it adds up to 43 different stamps.
