Please help with PX7 Sweet Caporal Domino Discs

[ashes13]

very nice. I love this set. I will post some pictures later. Much harder to find than the sweet caporal pins

It’s been 5 years since the last post in this thread but I wanted to update my previous posts based on my experiences in collecting this set. Most (if not all) of the discs have a ‘thin faced’ variation which I much tougher to find than the ‘regular’ pose. The prices for these seem to bear this out. I have a complete set now with about 75 of the thin faced variations.
A true master set of these discs would be nearly impossible with all the pose and color variations but I’m slugging along.
If anyone has a Moran with Cubs or an Art Wilson (as opposed to Owen Wilson) with Giants for trade or sale please let me know.
Years ago I posted that I thought the generic two sided home/visitors team disc was the toughest but I no longer feel that to be the case. Some of the ‘common player’ thin faced variations are much tougher.
Good luck if you are collecting the set.

Bob, congrats on completing the basic PX7 set! And, I wish you great success as you work on a master set.

Do you know if each player should be findable in both the regular-face and thin-face variations in all 4 background colors - i.e., 8 different discs for each player? Actually, the only player I'm really interested in is WaJo.

Thanks V al I’m just going for a regular and thin face of each player regardless of color. I wonder if all players have a thin face variation, it’s been speculated but to my knowledge, never proven.
You could be right about 8 of each player. That would be a life long search lol.

Hi Tbob, I have confirmed at least 115 thin-faced versions (I still have some scans to review), and really can think of no reason why the others won't surface if they have not already just evaded my radar. BTW, didn't I sell you the Art Wilson some years back?

Val, there should be nine front-back color combinations for each player. There are no brown backs, and no brown thin faced subjects.

So each player should be found with:
red full face/red back; blueFF/blue back; greenFF/green back; Brown FF w/red, blue or green back
red thin face/red back; blueTF/blue back and greenTF/green back.

Of course if you are patient enough to locate all nine front-back combos for each player (1161 disks), then you can try and get the different domino pip combos on the backs.

Thanks for the info Todd, it was informative.
On the Wilson I have the Owen Wilson, Pirates and Giants and Art Wilson Pirates but no Giants. I’ve always hoped that I would someday walk in to the National show and some seller would have the T210s I still need along with the Home Run Kisses, PX7s and of course the 4 E94s to complete the master set lol, but it’s not going to happen, so I’ll continue to patrol eBay and the auction houses. Looks like National is now mostly the new shiny chase card stuff now 😩

Great info, Todd - much appreciated!

Great Info and Great Looking Discs. Makes me considering them for a collection. Or is it another Great Item Distraction that I need to avoid because there is so many great things I would love to collect but need to focus
Stay Tuned

Dragging up this old thread as I am in the middle of sorting, scanning and listing a near complete set with several have both large and small portraits.

Some of what I might add, may now already be known, but I can say for sure that the set based on team changes does appear to have been issued up to and including 1912. Also, the thin face or small portraits are the later years, the larger portraits the first ones issued. The thin faces do appear to be a bit scarcer, although I have not yet done a final tally.

All of these will be offered in lots by player and team in my upcoming Feb/March Auction, raw and PSA graded, including the only PSA 10 Domino Disc graded.

I will add more info as I finalize the counts.
