Default A refresher course on why the Joe Doyle Nat'l card is so rare

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Here are additional 150/350 series Subjects whose Major League BB careers ended in the 1909-1910
timeframe. Nevertheless, they were printed on most of the 350 backs (EPDG, P350, Old Mill, Sov 350,
SC350 f25, SC350 f30).

And, the following 150/350 series Subjects who were traded in the 1909-1910 timeframe were printed
on most of the 350 backs (EPDG, P350, Old Mill, Sov 350, SC350 f25, SC350 f30).

Gentleman, there is more here than meets the eye as to why Dahlen, Ewing, Ganley, Tom Jones, Karger,
Lindaman, Lundgren and Mullin (throwing) are not found with the usual complement of 350-type backs as
the above listed Subjects. Furthermore, the only 350 back (Piedmont 350) that these 8 cards are found
with is an extremely scarce one.
