Cards You'd Like To See

[paul]

I'd like to see a scan of a 1946 Sears Stan Musial. I don't doubt that it exists. I've just never seen it. What cards would you like to see that you're pretty sure actually exist? Post your "want list" here, and hopefully our members will follow through with a scan.

I would like to see an E105 Fred Jacklitsch. I've never seen a scan of one. PSA added one to their population report about a year or two ago; there are none for SGC.

I would love to see that one too Paul.

My list would start with M101-6's of Casey Stengel and Hal Chase. Also Honus Wagner if it truly exists. It is on one of the checklists for the set, but its never been seen (that I know of).

I would like to see a scan of a T215 Red Cross Type-2 Merkle. I know the Type-1 exists, but I've never seen that one either.

There is a Type-2 in the SGC pop report, but I won't believe it until I see it.

If anyone here has seen one or can post an image, I would appreciate it.

[frohme]

Similarly, I'd like to see a scan of a T207 Lewis (no-emblem) with either the Cycle or Anonymous (Factory 25) back. Of the few examples I've seen, they've been either Broadleaf or Anon Factory 3.

Likely out there, just a small subset of a card with a small starting population.

Thanks.

I WAS going to post scans from my collection for every single card you are asking about but my vegetarian pet albino alligator, the Spiritualist, held a séance. He contacted Houdini and mastered the ability to walk through solid walls. He got into my vault and wouldn't you know it. He made a meal out of them.

Hey, Paul:

Although not a scan, I have seen a picture of the Sears Musial postcard, it was in an old auction catalogue. I don't recall which one, might have been Oser or Mastro or REA. The Schoendienst Sears is tough enough, I have seen two of those and owned one of them at one time.

One that I would like to see is the T5 Pinkerton Bill McKechnie.

Not sure about the existence of these: Rose Co. Speaker, W600 Branch Rickey & Home Run Baker, Punch Grant "Home Run" Johnson

Along the same lines, I would like to see M101-6's of the Mendelsohn photos I have - I know cards exist of some of them, but not sure they are the same images.

[mark evans]

Voskamp's Coffee Ed Mensor

[Wite3]

I still have a few on my lists with question marks (not really sure they exist or not really sure they picture a Phillie). Here are mine...any scans appreciated.

'61 Anonymous Key Chain Inserts #'s: 17 Crandall(?) (little black and white
1955? Fine Arts Studio Postcard(?) #'s: Ashburn. I think it is '55 but not sure.
1938 Foto Fun (Clo-Play) #'s: 11 Camilli(?), 64 Muellar(?)
1935 R-304 Demaree Die-Cuts #'s: 133(?). (possibly 113, 116, 119).
1955 Topps Stamps #'s: 79 Schell (?).

Phil, I honestly doubt that a Rose Co. Postcard of Speaker exists. Rose postcards were issued in 1908 and Speaker had barely any major league experience at that time. Each of the 16 teams were represented by 12 players - usually the team's 8 starting field players along with their 4 most used pitchers. Speaker would have certainly not fit this criteria.

The Rose Co. did produce a few additional players in 1909 without team designations and it is rumored that Speaker was a part of this "update," but his card has never been seen. Beckett did not include Speaker in his first checklist back in 1980 or so. The Sports Collectors Bible did not include Speaker in its first three editions, but did include him in their 4th, which was produced in 1983. Nobody can confirm why the Sports Collectors Bible added Speaker to their checklist. As many know, there were many, many mistakes made in this book and I have always assumed that the inclusion of Speaker was one of them.

So, I guess that there is a small chance that a 1909 "no team" version of Speaker exists, but the fact that no one con confirm it leaves me very suspicious.

As far as W600 Sporting Life Cabinets go, there are only 3 HOFers who were available that I do not have an image for - Baker, Rickey and Duffy. I do not think that Rickey and Duffy are known to exist. The only evidence that I have for Baker is an old 1982 TTS advertisement where he is listed as being available via the auction:

I'd love to see a high resolution scan of a 1911 Zeenut Leo Bohen

[SMPEP]

A W572 Barbare and a W572 Rapp. It's almost certain one of the two doesn't exist (neither has ever been graded) given that these were issued in strips of 10 cards and the set lists 121 cards ... but which one doesn't exist is currently unknown.

[ValKehl]

1922 W573 strip card of Sam Rice. This card is listed in the Standard Catalog, but none are listed in the PSA/SGC pop reports.
Val

[CW]

You guys are good. No scans so far!

[glchen]

Cards I'd like to see

(1) W590 Roy Spencer
(2) 1922 E121 AMER. CARAMEL BABE RUTH PHOTO MONTAGE-SER.120 (no quotes)
(3) 1922 E121 AMER.CARAMEL BABE RUTH HOLDING BIRD-SER. OF 120 (no quotes)

For #2 and #3, I'm assuming that these are just mistakes in printing the flip (and subsequent pop report) for these cards. All of the cards that I've seen for Montage and Holding Bird have Ruth with the name "Babe" Ruth with quotes rather than Babe Ruth without quotes. In the 1921 E121 set there are separate variations for "Babe" Ruth with quotes and Babe Ruth without quotes, but I don't believe that this exists in the 1922 set (unless someone shows me, of course).

I believe this sepia tinted (instead of black and white), blank backed card of Rice is considered to be an offshoot of the W573 set. I have a few sepia and green tinted W573 style cards with uneven cut borders.

Scott,

Do you have a list of the photos that you have? Are any of them on any of the three checklists for the set? I saw Goldin had a group of 5 unchecklisted Mendelsohn photos in their last auction as well.

[Exhibitman]

All of the sweepstakes winning cards from the 1968 Atlantic Oil set, other than Osteen, which I've seen:
AL 3 Freehan
AL 4 Davis
AL 7 McCraw
AL 8 Etchebarren
NL 2 Agee
NL 5 Banks
NL 6 Fairly
NL 8 Williams

[Mikehealer]

T214 Johnny Evers. Anyone have one? I would love to see a scan.

[x2drich2000]

I would like to see an e92 Nadja Cobb. I've read rumor that at least one exists, but none have been graded and in past threads on the Nadjas, no one has been able to provide one.

[DixieBaseball]

I would like to see a Hub Perdue and Gordon Hickman from the 1910 Coupon Type 1 set. I know they exists, but would like to see if anyone knows of a 2nd copy and it be verified. (I don't think a 2nd example exists, which makes me wonder about the issue a bit. Especially since the only examples known are Authentic. (Interesting cut on card... which further makes me wonder how the 68 cards was issued) Only in Long carton, perhaps? Only as a display piece? Were they in fact released like other issues ?

I got tired of chasing that set also, because I don't think it can be completed. The winning cards have vanished apparently, or never existed.

[ValKehl]

Brian,
Many thanks for showing your sepia, blank-backed E120 (or sepia W573) of Sam Rice. I don't recall ever seeing any of these cards of any players. If you ever tire of your Rice card, I'll be glad to give it a good home!
Val

[SMPEP]

Since I don't want this thread to die, I thought I bump it with some cards that should be out there.

Anyone have photos of:

W572 Duncan, Heilmann, Mamaux, Reuther, Rigney, Sewell and Wambsganns

All have been graded ... so they should be out there somewhere!

Cheers,
Patrick

[dabigyankeeman]

I want a 1934 Goudey Babe Ruth and a 1952 Topps Joe DiMaggio. These obviously are cards NOT ever made, but boy do I wish they had been made.

[bigfanNY]

I got a batch of these at a show in Irvington NJ in 1974 really not that long after the set was issued and liked the issue sharp photo's. They were obscure but all the collectors I knew at the time (all of Maybe 10-15) had a few. Well 5 years later I think I added maybe two to the original batch. Gary S from Michigan once had a few winners at a show in Silver Spring Maryland but prices were steep and I had already moved on to older issues so let them pass MISTAKE... Frustrating issue to collect but like all these cards discussed finding just ONE brings such joy..

Val and Patrick,

Thanks...not now, but I will keep you guys in mind.

[RCMcKenzie]

Jeremy, Here's a Perdue. I think I may have shown it to you or on here before..

Nice card, Mac! I still need a Hickman and a few others for the set.
Daryl, I used to work on E105. I pretty sure I used to own a Jacklitsch and I'm sure I've seen one before. Rob

I'd really love to see some high school aged kid holding a T206 Wagner with his TV on and in front of a mirror. If that's possible it'd be a dream come true.

Rob - Thanks for sharing! I forgot all about that Hub! It's good to know there are 2 examples of Hickman and Hub. I was getting concerned there for awhile. The SGC/PSA pop reports show 1 Hick and 1 Hub graded. (That's it!) 2 raw ones floating around is good. Perhaps we will see a 3rd example in the next few years, but I won't hold my breath.

[familytoad]

I'd love to see the York Caramel Paul Waner.
If nothing more than to be sure that first, the portrait is really Clyde Barnhart which at least on checklist says.
And second, so I can verify that I am not chasing a ghost
And third to verify the card number is 45, which I think is right, but I've been wrong before.
And 4th, which might be covertly obvious, attempt to acquire the card from whomever shows it

Not sure if you have the photo of this one. Only one I have. Roger Peckinpaugh 1925 AL MVP

[Joshchisox08]

The remaining 409 t206's that I don't own in a nice display case in my house. There that should do it!

[e107collector]

It's been rumored to exist, but I doubt one does. ( I hope it does exist)

Id like to see a 1910 H801-7 Old Mill Tobacco Joe Jackson Cabinet.

Tony - I don't think its possible since Joe was in Series 8 and no Series 8 players were featured on 1910 H801-7. (Just Series 7 players from T210 are featured on those OM cabinets, I believe... Some others can chime in)

[packs]

Is it at all possible that Stengel or Joe Jackson have a T211 card out there somewhere?

[oldjudge]

I'd like to see an N172 PL card of Connor or O'Rourke (they should exist) or a Gypsy Queen of Mack or Wright (they should also exist). Finally, an easy one, an N173 of Browning.

[edjs]

If there is one, it would most likely be a proof card. Highly unlikely, but one can hope!

[JLange]

I'd like to see an 1888 G&B Chewing Gum E223 card of Pete Hotaling and/or Larry Twitchell. I'd also like to see an 1888 Sporting Times M117 card of Jersey Bakely and/or Jay Faatz

[Joshchisox08]

I'm sure one exists and probably cost a fortune but is there any Roger Connor cards out there ??? Anyone know what the cheapest Connor card is or how many cards he has ?

[wolf441]

I would love to see another unique T206 proof such as the Eddie Collins Battting or Olberman's 8 southern leaguers.

Maybe a T206 Tris Speaker portrait proof??? A T206 horizontal Ty Cobb sliding proof??? An uncut/unknown 460 subjects sheet??

That might make some noise in the hobby!

[Joshchisox08]

How about Cobb sliding the famous slide into third on a t206 ?
