V89 William Paterson set likely issued in 1924, not 1922 or 1923...show what you got!

Great cards everyone! I don't remember seeing any of them before. I like the Groh...it even looks like his one hand is choked up on the big part of his famous bottle bat.

And you got to love Hornsby's balloon pants.

Brian V.H. recently posted a Bancroft from this set on the September pickups, and I thought this great looking and interesting V89 deserved to have its image snatched (hope that is okay Brian!) and give this thread a reason to resurface.

Show them if you got them.

Could Rube Marquard be listed with the Dodgers simply because his picture is in a Dodgers uniform? Would need to see an example to disprove this theory.

Marquard is indeed shown wearing a Brooklyn uniform, a head and shoulders portrait in the same outfit as Zach Wheat in this set.

I can easily envision that this is the cause of the Dodgers attribution...thanks egbeachley and spec!

Brian,

All good. Thank you for the attribution.

Mr. Dour and Mr. Grin, may they reunite once again.

This may support the later than 1922 theory on the set. Here is a photo circa 1924 offered on eBay by Rhys at prewarsports and the V89 Bancroft I picked up. If nothing else, the pictures were taken moments apart:
