Hey Leon and Jerry,
Thanks for the input -- here are some of my thoughts:
Here's a couple of cards for show and tell. Foster pictures Clyde Engle. Matty and Speaker have my favorite blazing sunset backgrounds. The Matty is the nicest PSA 1 I think I'll ever own. Cheers, Steve Last edited by brass_rat; 01-15-2018 at 05:58 PM. Reason: pronoun clarification |

Also, to clarify the Bressler pose prediction with respect to players/positions/poses, I'll copy over some info from my Nov. 2016 post introducing Eddie Foster to the checklist.
In the case where the player is in the Mothers' Bread set but is not in the E106 nor D303 General Baking sets, the Mothers' Bread player images are of other players from the same fielding position in the E106 set. Both Eddie Foster and Clyde Engle are third base, 3b. Other players in the Mothers' Bread set but not in the E106/D303-GB sets include: Felsch (Demmitt pictured, both are position c.f.) Louden (Knabe pictured, both are position 2b.) Meyer (Jacklitsch pictured, both are position c.) Morgan (Doolan pictured, Morgan is 2b. and Doolan is s.s., but Doolan played 2b. and s.s.) Weaver (Tinker pictured, both are position s.s.) |

catalogued
Does anyone know who first catalogued the Mothers' Bread cards?? The early price guides I have don't even mention them...in fact when I first came across them I didn't view them as separate....it would be interesting to know if maybe that person has seen a Bressler.....Jerry

Thanks for sharing, Andy!
Louden is one of those players that helps pin down 1916 as the release date for the Mothers' Bread cards. Louden's only season with Cincinnati was 1916, having been acquired on December 23, 1915. Also, the following info will further my suspicion that Hooks Wiltse is the "pictured player" on the Bressler, should anyone choose to show the card. All of the "pictured players" in the Mothers' Bread set were basically on their way out of baseball by 1915. In that context, it makes sense that players would be substituted in a 1916 issue. Hooks Wiltse's 1915 season was his last, split between the minors and the Federal League. "Pictured Player" (Mothers' Bread player caption in parenthesis):
Research possible thanks to baseball-reference.com. Here's Bressler's 1916 batterymate, Rube Meyer (Fred Jacklitsch pictured). Cheers, Steve |

Bressler
Steve, I think you are probably right.....I checked my old SCD catalogs and the 2000 version does not list Mothers Breads but the 2006 one does and it lists a Bressler so someone must have seen or heard of one.....unless it is like the T206 Hustlers and just reputed to exist.........Jerry
