Elite eleven - karger

[brianp-beme]

A couple years ago I thought I might have a Magee batting Sweet Caporal card with a factory designation (30) that doesn't exist in the 350-460 series, which kinda got me mildly excited.

Turns out the consensus here believed that it was missing the factory 42 overstrike. So honest overexcitement when thinking you might have something considered impossible is definitely excusable, as I was quickly willing to excuse myself, and dagnab it I am willing to do so now for others.

I just returned from Cooperstown and spotted this thread. I did not think my "Elite 11" were in any peril, as the front/back scans
of this Karger did not match up with respect to its four corners.

I have looked at many 100's of Karger's (and the other Elite 11 guys) ever since I presented this theory (circa 2007); and, I have
never seen a SWEET CAP 350 or SOVEREIGN 350 of any of them.

Great detective work Scot and Pat.

Did the Elite Eleven ever play the Four Horsemen?

I'm just guessing that the odds would have been 11 to 4.

Seller confirmed the back was 150.

Thanks for the input and feedback.

I guess the cloak & dagger aspect of the hobby makes it more fun in some ways. "New discoveries" are interesting, but they are often debunked as just a mix-up or a hoax.
I am surprised another shoe never dropped on the "Black Swamp Find" as I've always found that to be "unbelievable" in the most literal sense of the term. Maybe it's just because I live in Houston, and with all the humidity, that's not what paper looks like here after 100 years..Rob

Don't know the answer to that, but The Magnificent Seven would've taken the Elite Eleven in no time.

I'll see your Magnificent Seven and raise you a Dirty Dozen

[brianp-beme]

I think the real question is as follows: The Dirty Dozen or Cheaper By The Dozen--which one would require more laundry loads?

I'm a newbie to early 1900's vintage who would love to learn more. I've tried to follow what is going on in this thread but there are a ton of terms I'm not familiar with and references to cards that I've never heard of. If anyone can translate what's going on in this thread, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
