Here's one more early Obak article. It's from the December 1, 1944 issue of Card Collector's Bulletin, an item in Jefferson Burdick's "News Notes" reporting the discovery of the "Series of 150" 1910 Obaks. Charles Bray had 22 of the "Series of 150" cards, but we now know that there were 40. I love these articles from back when the hobby pioneers were still figuring out information that modern collectors take for granted.

Love Obaks. Own about 100 of them. Wonderful little pieces of art work and just as old as the t206s.

I aspire to reach that 100 mark. Will be a fun journey!

I'm reviving this thread after two months to post the one Obak article I didn't post the first time, because I didn't have that issue of Vintage & Classic Baseball Collector. Now I do, so here is the article, "Obak Backs Revisited" by Jeff Obermeyer. It's from the March/April 2001 issue of VCBC, and is a sequel to Obermeyer's article on 1910 Obak backs from the February 2000 issue, updated with new data from readers. The heart of the article is a master checklist showing which slogans are known with each of the 175 players in the set, and how many players are known with each slogan.

Thanks for posting this. I am going to have to look and see if this is one of the issues I picked up. Either way, I have this info now thanks to you. I am up to about 30 1910 Obaks so far.
