Boston Store and Collins McCarthy Variations
 

There are 4 error or variation cards in these sets where the photos were flip flopped, both sets list the error and the correct photos however I have never seen the corrected versions of any of these cards on either back. So if you have the correct one or both could you show them.

There is a pitching photo and a hands at side photo, but since the incorrect photo is on Mellie Wolfgang and he didn't make the set there is just the one single.

I have heard that perhaps the corrected versions were not made in the Boston Store set, but SGC has both of all the cards except the Williams. That being said I am not sure the population report is correct on these as if they were done early or someone didn't note which version they could have slipped by with ease.

I don't have acess to the PSA pops but I would expect to see the same type of numbers if not less.

Anyway just something that has bugged me as I keep seeing the error versions of these cards and not the correct ones.

The only one I have is the Ray Morgan (incorrectly showing Joe Judge) with a Collins-McCarthy back.

Here is also a Holsum Ray Morgan and a Keating Candy Co. (W575-1) of Judge to show the two photos.

There has to be a few others out that that have interest in these sets as they have been talked about some in the past. Other examples please.

Maple Crispette Variation
 

I find the #14 Ivy Wingo Maple Crispette card sort of strange. Reason being

I've have never seen the variation (last name only), after viewing over 30

Wingo's with full name only ( Ivy Wingo). I'm starting to believe the

variation does not exists.. That being said I hope someone proves

me wrong. I would love to see the Maple variation.


If you or if you know anyone who has one (variation) lmk.

Maybe Eric Eichelkraut might chime in, another Maple collector with knowledge whom I respect.

I think I got it!
 

I got an email from Eric regarding the variation a while back.

It seems the bold print full name Ivy Wingo is a variation and the last name variation Wingo has never been viewed, at least not by Eric.

Could this be the variation; Bold print variation mentioned but mistakenly misprinted by SCBC? I have a strange feeling it’s the real variation!!!

I've never seen another bold print wingo.

Would anyone like to confirm or dispute this claim?

Sorry for all the maple talk, I'm sure some of you are sick of hearing about my maples. I just love the set.:D

Seems like maybe it was the printing machine adding too much color. If his name was printed in a different color or spelled different, that would be a variation.

A very very deep color printing press problem.
 

I don’t know why but it seems very obvious the bold name Ivy Wingo is a bleeder, which was over looked by the manufacturer and was given a pass for distribution. I have a feeling that some collectors noticed the bold name and considered it as a third variation which was confirmed by Eirc. The bold face is possibly most likely a variation but just slightly rarer then the regular print. I went through some of my maple records and found another bold face print which sold above market value.

Nice hijack by Brad of James' thread.

Ahh… I don’t consider it a highjack; both sets are from the 20’s plus variations and black and white. So calling it a highjack would be an overstatement.. A drunk on the plane would be more appropriate..:)

Any last-name Wingo?
 

Can anybody verify the existence of the last-name-only Wingo in Maple Crispette? If not, we'll de-list it from the SCBC.

How about getting use back to the topice of the post being the Boston Store and Collins McCarthy cards.

Brad feel free to start your own post on the MC, not sure why you posted in this thread to begin with.
