I couldn't find a T217 image for O'Rourke, and having been searching alphabetically, that was where I stopped (not finding anything up to that point), so I never got to Schmidt. Cool to see there are two others. Any image for the O'Rourke? It is pretty interesting that there is not much information on either set, but they must have originated with the same photographer (at least for some teams). With some of the other PCL sets, it is pretty obvious that Gilmartin did the photography for the Seals team (Obak, Zeenut, and I suspect Bishop), and it is mostly accepted that Cardinet put out the 1913 Oakland team issue, so it is fun to see this connection between another of my two favorite sets. Big Eater, anyone?
