Hi Chris

I have a couple of the 1908-09 Dietsche Tigers. Some of the players who appeared in the 1907 series also have a 1908 card. About the only way to tell the difference is that the player's name is written on the front on the 1908 card. The pose and the write up on the back are exactly the same (at least the ones I have are). Also, the 1908-09 cards for players who joined the team during those years do have the players name written on front.

If you are really interested, Old Cardboard, Issue 8, has a pretty exhaustive article on the Dietsche issues. The last I looked, back copies are still available for purchase.

BTW, I do have a Cobb Fielding. I got it from Calvindog as a hand me down when he upgraded to his EX copy. Unfortunately it is not for sale
