Default Why is the T200 New York AL so tough

compared to other T200's? And is this the only card depicting pitcher George McConnell? These are but a few questions rambling in my mind, can anyone help me please.


ps looking for an E107 and or M101-1 of Frank Noodles Hahn

my guess is because the team stunk, as did the Boston Nationals team.

fewer were produced, and even fewer were kept.

Default Trashing might

make the most sense because production numbers were probably the same but you can just see someone back then lighting their cigarette and torching the card saying these guys "suck"

I think it is no tougher than the other cards like Boston NL, St Louis AL, St Louis NL but the popularity of the Yankees makes it a very tough card.
Phil AL, Pitt, Cleve, Detroit, Cinn, Phil NL, Brooklyn, Bos AL, New York NL, Chi NL and Chi AL all appear much easier than the other 4 so I guess distribution or short printing might have played some part.

I always felt that it was related to the teams popularity. The scarcity of the cards is pretty closely inversely related to how the teams finished the previous year.

Jim, George is featured on several cards other than the T200--none of which are all that easy to come by though, so it might take you a while to find one. Here is the list I have...


McConnell, George N. (Slats)
• 1909/11 Colgans (E254)
• 1912 Colgans Red
• 1913 Colgans Tin Tops
• 1909 D380-1 Round Frame
• 1910 D380 Square Frame
• 1910 Mascot Gum Pins
• 1908 Offerman Buffalo PC


Here is what the E254 looks like (I wish I had a duplicate for ya!)


Hope this helps
-Rhett
