No...I didn't cheat.....

Very nice pickup. A tough tough set. I have but a couple types.....

Sure you didn't!

Just kidding, to the 19th Century baseball fan/historian it really isn't that tough but a fun little puzzle.

We still need the far right bat name along with the name at top (on the base)

I don't want to do them all, but I know them as well......just don't know who the 3/4 bat is......


And if anyone cares about the other cards in the set, about 1/2 of them are pictured in the gallery located at the link below......

for more than 20 years. It's a great card and I've only seen one other. Lately I've been getting rid of a few of my best type cards and glad they have been going to good homes.......Still a few more to go :-) Now if someone would just find an Edwards N43 for me - I'll feel I've gotten my just reward......

Henry, I had seen your copy years ago (I think you had posted it on the Non-Sport side or something) and was really excited to get it when you decided to part with it. The N125 set is one of my favorite Duke issues, I just can't find them... ever!

You guys are all too good! That didn't take too long.

After a 2nd study and realizing why they had to pick Richardson over the more popular Connor, Welch, etc. I'm even more impressed with the puzzle. They had to introduce Nick Young (or someone else not on the roster) to make it all work out but still a very neat puzzle.

On a side note, no love for Danny Richardson on the back (no clue), I guess he wasn't worthy

[spec]

The top name is the great Danny Richardson, of course. The right bat is Nick, first name of National League secretary, Nick Young.
Bob Richardson
