I enjoy collecting 20s/30s B&W R type cards. I have a very modest set of R314 Type 1, about 2/3 of R314 Type 4 (Creamy) and a few scattered Type 2.3.5 ("no Litho USA", no border, Canadian players-Montreal/Toronto)
Just ended on eBay was a card by card auction of pretty much an entire set of R314 Type 5 and the Detroit Type 4 players in very nice shape-I haven't seen many of these cards on eBay in the last 3 years, much less "all" of them-of course i got none of them; there appeared to be a "top all" bidder who needed to have all the cards.
I've found the Detroit Type 4s to be much harder to find than the other "4s" and this coupled with these Detroit 4s being sold with all the Canadian 5s by a Canadian seller lends credence to the Type 4 Detroit players being distributed with the Type 5s, perhaps in Canada only?
I also saw a Walker, batting (Detroit Type 4) that isn't listed in my 2008 Std Cat??
I'm sure there are a few of you who can weigh in here (Tim?)-perhaps you bought them?
thanks
