Jersey City Cards

[tlwise12]

I may be switching my focus around a little and have a question in hopes that someone can help me.

I'm thinking about collecting a certain team and any issues that team has. I'm interested in the Jersey City teams and I know they have cards in several issues dating from the n172 Old Judges up until the t206 series.

If anyone can shed some like on this for me I would be very appreciative. I'm looking for cards ranging from the 1870s-1930.

Feel free to show the cards mentioned as well...

Thanks

Here are the 3 Jersey City cards that can be found in T213...(from sets I'm working on)

Lipset's Encyclopedia is a good resource for team collectors as it lists the team designations in the checklists.

Here are some estimates, may be incomplete, for JC cards from these series....
T213-1=0
T213-2=2
T213-3=1
T214 = at least 1 Wiltse JC
T215 = (Pirate back only) Purtell
T216 =0

T214.....might be one of the tougher Jersey City cards...

The T201 set has 4 cards from the Eastern League. Rochester, NY - home to Factory 649, Revenue Disctrict 1 as well as the Eastern League Rochester Broncho's was 1 of the 2 factories that produced Mecca brand of cigarettes and included cards printed by the ALC. One of the 4 other EL teams included in the T201 set was 1 card for the Jersey City Skeeters (Abstein/Butler).

I do not have a scan at the moment as I am traveling. I hope to have an article on the set finished for inclusion in the Fall edition of Old Cardboard.
