I have a spelling variation of the George Toporcer card in the E121 Series of 120 which I have noticed is not catalogued. I assume the common card is spelled 'Toporcer', but I also have one that is spelled 'Topocer'. I would be interested to know what version other collectors have so that I can identify the tougher variation. I will post images of both of my examples in a few days.

Here is the scan of the Toporcer/Topocer cards. It appears that at least in the SCD catalog that the mis-spelled 'Topocer' is the known variety, but now I have the previously uncatalogued and correct 'Toporcer' variation. As you can see in the scan, the Toporcer is trimmed, but thankfully left the name intact...otherwise no update. The back has pink lines because I soaked it (along with 100+ fellow 1920's American Caramel cards from a lined tablet).
I would still like to know if there are any other collectors out there with this variation. Brian |

As is evident from Andy's post this may just be a variation that was never noticed (too many "R's" in his name for the brain to notice). Would love to hear what other collectors have.

It is a new variation, I noticed it a little while back and was able to pick up both variations...
I first noticed the variation when the SCD has him listed as Topocer (mispelled) and Lipset has him listed as Toporcer (correct), and I began looking for him to see if they both existed, which they did. I haven't noticed one being that tougher than the other, but I could be wrong. -Rhett

Great find.
Amazing that it took almost 90 years for someone to report this. |

Thanks Brian and Rhett for offering info about the Toporcer cards in your respective collections, and also I appreciate the encouragement Scott. Anyone else out there that can offer up which Toporcer E121 120 Series variation they have?

Just noticed that Lew Lipset's Encyclopedia lists the card as 'Toporcer' and makes no mention of a mis-spelling. Perhaps the 'Topocer' is more uncommon...?
