Thanks Dan, awesome Wagner! A little out of my league for now but I'm looking to add a cheaper Wagner soon.

Thanks Jesse. It's out of my league also to be honest...I had to sell some great cards to make it happen. Luckily they are all replaceable and that's what it came down to.

Congrats Jesse! I've been collecting so long I forget how special and fun it really is when you acquire a 100 year card of one of the greatest baseballers ever. Especially the first one. Congrats again. -peter

Thanks, I have a few cards from this era but this was my first big name HOFer. I was pretty excited to get it. I think it's amazing that someone pulled it out of a pack of cigarettes over 100 years ago and it's still survived this long.

These two arrived today, made a cold snowy day warmer. Sorry they're a bit blurry, I haven't figured out how to get clear scans of SGC slabbed cards with my scanner.

That's a good one, Jesse - Congrats!

Finally finished a small subset project. Thanks to Andy N. for this Jack Lapp T222 Fatima card.

I now have the 4 "catching pose" cards in the set: Archer, Lapp, McLean, and Schang. All 4 present well!

Patrick, what about John Henry, the Washington Senators catcher? I believe he is one of the toughest T222 short prints to obtain. Here's the link to the OC web site where you can see a pic of this card: http://www.oldcardboard.com/t/t222/t222gal.asp

Hi Val,

John Henry split time between catching and 1st base. His T222 looks like he has a smaller 1st basemen's mitt on to me.


Patrick

[ValKehl]

Patrick, I wasn't aware that Henry ever played 1st base. But, I just now checked baseball-reference.com, and I see that he played both positions during the first 2 years (1910 & 1911) of his MLB career, and catcher only during his last 7 years (including 1914, the year the T222s were issued). Re Henry's T222 card, I think he is holding a catcher's mitt, but have no expertise re vintage mitts. BTW, nice accomplishment!!
