Show a Scarce Pre-WWII Type Card

[bigfanNY]

Over the years I have met a very few " Type Collectors " The first one I met had a goal of collecting one card or "Type " from every baseball set before 1920. He was very different from most of the other collectors who collected sets of cards. He sold or traded all his doubles in pursuit of his goal.
Another subset of the true Type collector were the collectors who kept Type albums. I knew quite a few collectors that did this but very few that identified themselves as type collectors.

My goal before abandoning it was one of every baseball ACC numbered card before WWII. I was only a few away when I liquidated and started over. I still love types but won't be the completist I was.
