Searching for a "Pirate" Cobb....show us these extremely rare "T215" cards ?

Regarding your question...."If the Pirate back version has Brooklyn & Chicago in the caption, or just Chicago."

The Pirate card of Harry McIntyre is the "Brooklyn & Chicago Nat'l" version.

Not be confused with Matty McIntyre, who was printed with 2 cards in the Pirate set identifying him with......

Detroit

Chicago Amer.

for the sake of clarity, I was the purchaser of the Doolan T215 Pirate card almost exactly two years ago.

For some reason, I thought Scotty used to own it?

My, oh my....these dudes must be pretty darn rare. Only two BB guys have appeared......

Hey Leon, in your quintessential type collection you must have a Pirate BB card ?

estimates on the number of T215 Pirates out there...

e.g. was the checklist that was created from the set that was sold by Mastro, or was that another grouping? Are there 200 T215 Pirates known, 300? Some different number? I'm just curious if people know of old-time collectors that are sitting on large amounts of these cards, or if most of the knowledge surrounds the near set that was auctioned off.

[and where/how the other cards in that checklist were identified]

Goodwin's upcoming auction will have an example:

1912 Pirate Cigarettes T215 Heinie Wagner-SGC Authentic

My checklist is a combination of cards I've seen, research that I've done, and the list of cards in Mastro's auction.
If you are asking what is the total population of these Pirate cards.....that I would not know. I don't think anyone
knows that number.

And yes, there are veteran collectors that have Pirate cards in their collections.
