Default Forsale 1909 Obak Ehman Uncataloged in Lipsets book??

Posted By: Bob

Jim- Not really rare within the set (the whole darn set is pretty tough). The card was inadvertently left off a list a long time ago and then since people got lazy and just started making their lists from existing lists instead of doing a little research, it continued to be left off. 2 others come to mind- there was a 1910 Obak listed (guy's last name began with a "B") in almost all Obak lists years ago that did not exist and gave complete set collectors fits trying to find it; and there is a P-2 Sweet Caporal pin of Mullins small letter and a Mullins large letters but there is no such animal as Mullins large letters black hat. It doesn't exist and yet the lists including SCD continue to perpetuate this myth and even Mastro believes SCD instead of all the P-2 collectors who KNOW it doesn't exist. Don't believe me? Ask Scott Mosley, he'll give you the rundown...
