E220 and W572 connection
 

This has probably been discussed before (maybe recently) but I just added this E220 Wheat to my new collection and noticed the W572 of Wheat in the ongoing LOTG auction. Have we discussed this before? And regardless of that I think similar photos for different cards is cool.

That seems to have been a popular shot of Mr. Wheat during that time:

I would say so...

Wheat wire and Neilsons.

Leon, I did some research on this years ago - and I can dig it out if folks are interested - but the e220 is not the set with the closest ties to the W572s. With very minimal effort you can see there is a different Ruth, Marranville, Hooper, Heilmann, etc. between these two sets.

There was one set where almost every single card had the same picture (I couldn't match them 100% because I still am missing 4 pictures from the W572 - Rapp, Barbare, Duncan and Wambsganns - but there was a remarkable tie for everything else I could find). I forget which set it was off the top of my head (E120?).

Cheers,
Patrick

Same poses

You can add E121 as a related set as most of the pictures used are the same as W572 and probably E220

W572 images
 

Patrick is correct, the W572 set shares the same images with the E120 American Caramel set, with the exception (if I remember correctly, not being around the reference material) being the Cobb card. I believe this connection is outlined in Lipset's Encylopedia of Baseball Cards, under the caramel grouping.

Almost a half dozen cards including the wire photo and all with a different crop-nice!
