"So our approach, generally, was to select the earliest five cards to represent each HOFer and let each collector decide...With possibly one or two exceptions, we have ordered the earliest five cards for each HOFer in chronological order...We are always open to suggestions and feedback from all collectors."
Lyman, Phil,
I would appreciate if you could clarify some card dates.
Your rookie card site for O'Rourke has the following two dates:
1886 Joseph Hall Cabinet
1886 Kalamazoo Bats
The SCBC has the Joseph Hall Cabinets issued in 1888...which date is correct?
Also, your website list of N-cards has Kalamazoo Bats issued in 1887, which is also the date in the SCBC book. Were K-Bats cards also issued in 1886 or is 1887 the correct date?
If the Joseph Hall Cabinets were issued in 1888, then maybe the 5th earliest card could be the 1887 N172 Old Judge or the 1887 N284 Buchner?
If you would like scans of either card just let me know.
Paul C.
