Does anyone else on the board have examples in their collection or can point me to any scans on other sites of W555 Cy Young cards?

I have one in my possesion and would like to see if I could find the other variations for comparison.

Just to throw my two cents in on dating this set (I know this is an old discussion) I would say that the previous posters on this board regarding this topic did a great job of moving the set up to the 1909-1910 timeframe.

The card I have lists Young with Cleveland but shows him still in a Boston Americans uniform (nice tie-in to the E-97 set). To me, that would make at least my card a 1909 issue since Cy played for Boston in 1908 and moved to Cleveland in 1909.

If my card were issued in 1910, I would think they would have enough images of Cy in a Cleveland uniform by then to work with.

I would greatly appreciate anyone that could point me to any W555 Young scans they are aware of.

Thanks!
