Dots last card during his playing days...the end of the line.

Thank you, Rhett:

Brian, nice card! I have always loved the T207 Butcher as it as close as we get to a mainsteam tobacco (T205-T207) card of Joe Jackson*, mentioned on back as the "slugging wonder". Honestly they thought to mention him on the back of Butchers card and mentioned how good he was but didn't make a card of the guy? That has always puzzled me!

*(I don't want to get into the T202 card! )

Does anyone else see what looks like an S on Butcher's jersey above his right hand? Is there supposed to be something there?

[Brian Van Horn]

Looks like a bit of dirt to me.

One of the many mysteries of the T207s along with no Mathewson or Cobb and the list goes on.

I've always thought of the T207 set as a kind of "addendum" to the already produced T205 and T206 sets they had already made as it included so many "new" players. Obviously they included players in T207 that were included in the other sets like Walter Johnson, John McGraw, Roger Bresnahan, etc but the fact that so many "young/future stars" were included it almost has the feel of a set like the Topps Traded sets from the 1980's. With that being said the lack of a Joe Jackson card always seemed like a glaring omission.

Thank you again, Rhett:

I know it looks nothing like him, but I like that its early and apparently his first Yankees "card"...plus I could afford it, so that helps!

Took a bit of time off after my Diaz fun, came back with another check-marked off and another I've been looking for a very long time

Allen Sothoron - 1924 Diaz Cigarettes - 3 more to go. Where are you Guy Morton and Pete Donohue


Missed a chance at one of these a year ago and been kicking myself ever since, tonight finally got him off my back

Thanks Brent! Yeah, it just has a little bit of paper-loss on the back right corner and the front top right corner crease. It's a beauty!
