All I can say is --- WOW !!!!
What a GREAT time I had dealing with Ed and his "new Howe" project.
I wish that I also had gotten my act together sooner, and there weren't as many "* -- missed cards." BUT, I was honored to help add ~100 cards to Ed's collection. But, at least we know they are out there. Hopefully some will make to Ed.
We had "quite a few" fun and interesting email conversations. Pure pleasure dealing with Ed.
The only thing I can add from my "Adventure" dealing with 950+ cards, is that the grand majority of Piedmont cards were either 150 or 350 series. There were less than 15 350/460 series (i.e. <2%). I'm happy to say Ed got the majority of them (missed a few).
As one can see on Ed's 94 "need" list there are twenty three 350/460 cards (making up 25%):
George Bell (Pitching Follow Through)
Al Bridwell (Portrait, With Cap)
Hal Chase (Holding Trophy)
Josh Devore
Hugh Duffy
Russ Ford
Buck Herzog (Boston)
Harry Howell (Hand at Waist)
John Hummel
Joe Lake (St. Louis, Ball in Hand)
Arlie Latham
Rube Marquard (Pitching Follow-Through)
John McGraw (Portrait, With Cap)
Tom Needham
Rube Oldring (Batting)
Orval Overall (Hand Face Level)
Billy Payne
Wildfire Schulte (Back View)
Cy Seymour (Portrait)
Happy Smith
Lee Tannehill (Tannehill on Front)
Joe Tinker (Bat on Shoulder)
Zack Wheat
Maybe Howe gave up in 1911 ??
These 23 probably "never were." I'd like to think that the next "Howe discovery" will bring out the others, some day. Heck, it "only" took 3 or 4 decades for the Golden Lot to surface ...........
EXTRA Fun, Fun, Scott
