Wow, I leave for a couple days and TWO CJ threads...awesome.

I dont know of any sheets that survived 1914 or 1915. I think the only info we have to go on is cards 1-87 in 1914 claim 10 millions picures while the remainder of the set claims 15 millions pictues in the ad. Some other folks on the board noticed a variation on font on the 1914's but it didnt sound like that had anything to do with actual sheets. Those numbers do not produce even sheets by my math. It would be amazing to see a whole or partial sheet and overrun with that sea of red. Also, CJs seem to have very few MC cards, Ive owned around 300 CJ's, both e145 and e145-2, and dont recall a MC card. The worst Ive seen was a rather large lot that grade mostly 5's with qualifiers as the registration was WAY off. These sold on the bay about 18 months ago and a couple have resurfaced since then. Aren't CJ's great?

I only have one.

I really like them, but they weren't easy to come by earlier in my collecting and once they started getting expensive while easier to find they were always just a bit beyond what I would usually spend.

The 'ed' on the end of "owned" is the key...Im currently sitting on 147 with #148 being hand delivered tomorrow!

I purchased a huge high-grade lot (most of the set) from Mastro many years ago, so got a great look. I found the images to be hit or miss - some, like Rousch and Baker, are among the best on any card anywhere; others are blah to yechh. In general, the portraits are superb.

Regarding Peter's poster-Cobb - I was within inches of buying it, but couldn't determine if the image was printed the same way as the regular CJ's. If I had gotten a 'yes', I would have bought it. Great pick-up.
