E94- you choose, Doolan or Byrne?

[Leon]

Which of these 2 E94 Close Candy cards would you pick for your collection? I have always wanted a Doolan E94 as I like "sweater/jacket" poses. The only thing that is a drawback on this Doolan are the print marks, which look to maybe be roller marks from the press, but I am not sure. If the values are equal, and the backs are the same, which card would you pick for your collection?

[Mikehealer]

I would take the Byrne, I opt for better centering when I can.

Leon, the jacket on Mr. Doolan makes it my choice as well. Love it!!
Much better loo'kin pose. Those print marks don't bother me one bit.

[benchod]

with the back you can't go wrong either way!
keep one and I'll buy the other!

[joeadcock]

The Doolan. Great pose.

I like the centering on the Byrne.

[HBroll]

Better centering & no print marks. Bryne all the way.

[E93]

It is almost a draw, but I would give the nod to the Byrne due to centering.

Byrne is a better card technically but the pose is boring. I'm voting for the charismatic Mr. Doolan.

[ethicsprof]

i love them both but would pick the Byrne simply because i would frame him along with my byrne silk and byrne P2.

does it matter? people are only going to look at the back anyway.

Doolan.

[ullmandds]

no contest...gotta be the byrne for me. better centering, no print marks, nice color/saturation background. i never liked that pose of Doolan...the uniform is interesting, though.

[Leon]

You guys are some help .


**This is the exact reason I posed this question.....how funny!!

Leon, theres always that infamous quarter you can flip I always see in your scans.

[wrapperguy]

I'd take the Doolan.... better pose, more interesting card, full face, can live with the slight off-centeredness. Byrne is a common pose and less interesting. Nice to see a ball player enjoying what he is doing!

Both backs are very strong. Really clean with dark blue overprints. I didn't want to focus on the backs because they are the same in that respect. So far it's almost 50/50 so I guess I will have to make my own mind up. I was hoping this would be swayed and the decision would be easier. I am leaning towards the Doolan. I am not a condition or grade guy and the printer marks don't really irritate me too much. That was the only blemish holding me back. The slight slant doesn't bother me at all, on the Doolan. Thanks for the thoughts so far. I just wish it was more definitive. regards

It's still a tie ball game

...because I think it will be easier to flip it based on the condition. I think both poses are ugly and the background is gross. Sorry -- some caramels are so beautiful they make me want to stop collecting T206 cards, but these ain't two of them.

I'm with Jeff - I'm partial to pictures in which you can see the player's whole face. Plus the jacket rather than the standard uniform shirt makes for a more interesting pose overall IMHO.

[Bamacollection]

I'm not a fan of "over-prints". Byrne is centered well, also.

[ChiefBenderForever]

I like the Byrne but think they both are nice.

[brickyardkennedy]

The jacket and the grin make it a tough call, but I'll pick Byrne to win, by a pose.

[White Borders]

Well, Leon, you could pick up both of them

Best Regards,

I voted for Doolan, not only because it would be the one I would choose, but also because it once again ties up the vote at 36 each card.

I like the Byrne...the extra colors.
