Fred Schupp - does not exist
Milton Stock - does not exist

The Grimm, Mays, R.Meusel and Neale would carry varying premiums.

The Carlson L. Bigbee and Walter Holke portrait far as I know carry no premium.

A couple of cards that are tougher to come by but not necessarily identified in the catalogues as such are the Whitted - Brooklyn and the Toporcer correct and Topocer incorrect spelling...not sure which is considered more difficult.

There are a bunch of cards listed in the SCD catalogue (as of 2009 edition) that probably don't exist, such as George Sisler throwing, Walter Holke throwing, "Hy" Myers, Ferd Schupp, Tris Speaker large projection, Babe Ruth holding bird, and Babe Ruth three pictures.

Brian ,

In your last paragraph are you still referring to series of 120? I've seen the two Ruth's in series of 120, but not 80

thanks

Hi Bob,

My post pertains strictly to the 120 series (others certainly covered the 80 series thoroughly). I failed to clarify which Ruth cards that have been catalogued for years that probably do not exist. The Photo montage, holding bird and holding ball images exist in the series of 120, but only with his first name in parenthesis ("Babe"). The non-parenthesis version (Babe) for both the photo montage and holding bird versions, as seen in the established listings, most likely do not exist. Sorry for not being very clear.

Thanks to all for the responses. I am going to concentrate on the basic series of 120 set (no variations) as I already have about 90 of them.

Thanks

Bob
