good luck in your hunt....ever go to Rochester or buffalo?

I know Ed very well. I don't know if he has seen one but I will guess, no. One was in a Lipset auction about 12 yrs ago,. It's the only one I have ever seen for sale. I won several other extremely rare cards in that auction so didn't go for that one. Little did I know I would never see another for sale *(yet).

I know the person that bought that one and the person he sold it to. I hope I never own that one because it means another hobbyist will have passed away. I don't see the current owner ever selling it. I do have high hopes though, as at least 10-20 are documented in Egan's reference manual on Early Candy cards.

Wow! Nice cards guys. These are tough and real nice cards. That Rajah is killer.
Hope we see some more posts.
Thanks!

Here are a few...

Anyone know why SCG calls these E121 rather than D327?



Here are both my back variations:

Zachariah.

Interesting Kenny. Your Zach has font alignment different from Rhett's--his must be a different type back?

I only own one:



Obviously, PSA bungled the codification of this card as 1917, rather than 1921. But, for what it is worth, Mastro didn't pick up on this error, either, when it auctioned the card off six years ago

I'm quite sure I overpaid, but I'm not clear that there are really a lot of Stengel Phillies cards out there...

Todd mine is the Type 2 back, while his has the Type 1 back. ALSO, note that his name changed from "Zack" on Kenny's card while mine has it changed to "Zach".
