N284 Buchner Gold Coin Checklist Add?

[RCMcKenzie]

I was wrong. You were able to clear it up with one post. The Smiling Mickey Welch has an "A" series ad back and is unknown. Am I seeing that correctly? It would be worth a lot of money. Did you win the lot? Jonathan? Wish I could have bid. Rob

The catalogued one has the ad back I think now. The Peoples one...

Both Peoples and Phillips appear on the Old Cardboard site checklist. Peoples is the card with backside advertising.

(104) Jimmy Peoples Catcher Brooklyn A
(106) Bill Phillips 1st Base Brooklyn A

Yes...I did win the auction. I'd be happy to let Jay take a look at the group and report back to the forum once I get them in hand.

Congratulations.

Hi Jeff - you are correct that Phillips is checklisted as a player. But the pose on yours is different from the one in the set with the ad back. See below for the pic from the OC website.

I would suspect that, like the others, these were poster cuts that were not issued. Thus, you've got four new poses. Really great stuff.

And Rob - based on what the other thread said about the McClellan, you may very well be right. Would be great if the owner of that card pictured found this thread and mentioned it.

These cards use the same pose as the "spats" players in the set, as follows:
Welch is Keefe's pose
Clark is Kelly's pose
Phillips is Anson's pose
This is far out, but maybe someone from New York and some how connected with Buchner was not happy that star pitcher Welch was left out of the set and disappointed that there were only 3 Brooklyn players were in the set; and no I don't believe in Bigfoot.
Anyway, very interesting cards

First I did not know the cards were offered in an auction and I did not bid on them. Second As Buchner said they do not appear to have a direct relationship to Gold coins. I dont believe in bigfoot either but do agree that a New York based firm might have used these in some sort of ad or perhaps were pictures in a periodical or booklet. And given that all the players they used were not in the Buchner set might have given them the license to produce them. Again all guesses.
The Smiling Mickey would have significant value if it were a gold coin but again it dose not look to have a direct connection to the set.
Can you post a high res scan of the Welch and the card from the OP?

[bigfanNY]

One last question are the 4 cards that are not Gold ch coins all the same size?

[RCMcKenzie]

The blank back ones will match up with the McClellan, if it's still around, is my guess. I would guess the McClellan should be checklisted with these as some unknown, semi-related set of their own, as said before, probably ad poster cuts from the period.

I have not received the Slocum book, I assume there is not a picture of the back of the McClellan in it. This board would be hoppin' if they were T206 like the ones Olbermann or Charlie Sheen or whomever has...Rob
