O.K. All Colgans are Horner photos. How about all Fan Craze?
 

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>The Chance, Breshnahan and Flcik are identical. Oddly, the McGinnity doesn't seem to be. I onlt have 3 Colgans left, and only 12 Fan Craze--but it seems to me an awful lot of them are the same. I think the Wallace is the same, and the Young--there're only about 2 photos of him around at all!<br /><br />Any opinions on others? Or does someone know? The Fan Craze--even if they were ALL printed in 1906 (which by the way they were) are easily 3 years earlier than any of the Colgans.

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>Be more forthcoming. I STILL like Fan Craze better than Colgans. They're BIG PICTURES. And many of them are Excellent ones.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/jphotos/HanlonFC001.jpg"><br /><br />Pip pip! Of course, the card is crystal clear. But tell that to my new scanner...

Posted By: <b>runscott</b><p>although the "spherical" superball cards were pretty cool. As far as "Fan Craze" goes, I never understood why anyone would get excited over a card game. I prefer some of the nicer turn-of-the-century "Old Maid" sets, but I wouldn't see any use in breaking those up to collect individual cards, any more than I would Fan Craze. But to each his/her own.

Posted By: <b>hankron</b><p>I don't know all the player/photographer combinations, but know that some of the images were shot by Benjamin Falk. Falk photographed many of the 1890s Newsboy actor/actress cabinet cards and, in fact, some of the Newsboys have his stamp on them.

Scott, I have never spoken to ANYONE who knows how to PLAY the Fan Craze game, including those who have the whole set in a box (about 1).
