When I saw this thread I thought it would be fun to throw it in there just to see if anybody had any comments. I figured it would be in the main thread and get more visibility. It would have been really funny if someone else photoshopped one and posted the picture because I would have crapped my pants and tried to get the card, but I know better, it just doesn't exist.....

I was going to let this ride for a few days but I have too much respect for the old timers on this board that have been collecting for a long time.

Yep. I tried to buy it off you. I couldn't figure out why "captain" was on it. He wasn't captain of Detroit. I didn't comment because I didn't know the rarity of it until I did some research. Glad you fessed up - it's been bugging the hell out of me!

Here's my Dan Brouthers: There seems to be a bluer version, which I actually like much better.

"I can remember the old SCD checklist (BB card checklist bible of sorts) indicating both the "Detroit" and "Pittsburg" versions of the card." I collected the set about 20 years ago and went off in another direction. With OMG and CRS I forgot all about it when I started the set again sometime in mid 2000's. A recent call from a hobby friend asked me about the Detroit version - which triggered a memory. Unfortunately the memory was apparently one of seeing that entry.
So to be clear - NO-ONE HAS SOLD BOUGHT OR HAS A DETROIT VERSION and it was just a photoshopping frankenmonster?

Shameless shout out - I'm missing TWO common cards to complete the set - Myers and Teemer………..

That is correct.

Hey Fred

You and the NE Patriots made my day yesterday.

You (and your "cohort", Joe G.) added some welcomed excitement to this forum..... Thanks, Fred.
Here you go, check-out my two Fred Dunlap cards...…stranger than your's.

Hey, Ted - Who is Fred calling 'old-timers'?


.

[Fred]

Old-timers... I guess that can be in reference to people that have been in the hobby for 40-50+ years (at least).

If you looked at the Dunlap Detroit picture and your heart skipped a beat, you're probably an "old timer"

If you fall asleep at the keyboard while typing replies to the board, you're probably an "old timer"

If you look at the baseball cards you popped from the packs when you were a kid and find most of the players have "moved-on", you're probably an "old timer"

If you can recall having a conversation with Burdick, Wharton-Tigar or Lipset (ha, just kidding Lew), you're probably an "old-timer"

If you get more enjoyment out of reading the "OJ" bible than looking at porn, you're probably an "old timer"

Besides the eight BB players, Beecher, and Buffalo Bill....these 2 groups of N162's have always been very popular (Pugilist's and Billiard players).

This group of fourteen N162 cards, together with the cards on display in Posts # 23, 29, and 30 comprise of a complete set of 50 subjects.
Putting together an N162 set is not a difficult task. The BB subjects are quite available. Harry Beecher** and "Buffalo Bill" Cody are tough
to find; but, most of the other athletes are not as tough to find. However, you will find the Billiard guys considerably tougher.





** Note…...Beecher was the star Quarterback for Yale (1884 - 1888). His coach, Walter Camp, is considered the "Father of American Football".
Camp modernized the game of Football at Yale to the game we know today. Prior to Camp's innovation of College Football, the game was being
played like Rugby.

Hi Scott

In my first N162 set there is a nice blue Dan Brouthers card.

I have a complete set of 50 and of the 46 I have in hand (the other four are in my safe deposit box) 32 have the trademark and 14 do not. Probably my favorite set.

[pokerplyr80]

The only one in my collection. Looks like it has the trade mark in question.

As usual, if it's a thread about N162 cards, then I show-off my GOODWIN CHAMPIONS Album (designated A36).

Since my High School days (late 1950's), I have been an avid Tennis fan. I still play a competitive 2-hour game
of singles every week. My favorite page in this colorful 12-page album is this pastoral Tennis scene.
The cover of the GOODWIN album is an absolute classic......lithographic art at it's best.

Previously noted here, collecting the N162 cards to complete the set is easier than other 19th Century sportscard sets. It can be quite expensive (depending on
the condition of the cards you prefer).

For the same cost of an Anson (or a Kelly), I suggest you consider acquiring the GOODWIN (A36) album. Beautifully illustrated, this Sports collectible is a great
19th Century treasure. Plus, you get all 50 images of the N162 subjects in one purchase.

And coincidently, as of today there are at least three A36 albums for sale on ebay.
