Dominos, Scanlon and Ebay Id’s

[bigfanNY]

So the Ebay auction by ,"David Vintage" was the owner of the Number one PSA graded set. And I agree prices were soft. I would have thought an auction house would have been a better Avenue. Looks like all the scarce variations were scooped up and might just appear in the new iimproved number 1 set.
I have always liked Dominoes and even though they are more common I prefer type 1 esp with red background.

If you say so. I don't believe the prices were soft at all, as many went unsold and are still available as BINs. I was lucky to land two of the tougher variations, and they won't end up on the Registry anytime soon, because 1) I'm far, far away from completion, and b) I would never belong to the Registry-- I am more apt to pop the damn things out of the holders. FWIW, I believe the pop reports are interesting but misleading when it comes to discerning the tough variations, since they do not distinguish between the poses. There are also an awful lot of ungraded disks out there too, many of which appear to be in very nice condition.

Like you, though, I am partial to the red backgrounds. They're clearly the most vibrant.

Hi Todd. I do agree with you that both Domino Disc variations are of Doc and not Frank.

According to Baseball Reference in December 1911 Doc was traded from the Brooklyn Dodgers to the Philadelphia Phillies for Eddie Stack. Although it looks like 1911 was Doc's last season and he never actually played for the Phillies.

The Baseball Encyclopedia 9th Edition 1993 doesn't show Doc's 1911 trade to the Phillies (see pics below).

I still think that the correct spelling is Scanlan though. At least according to MLB, Baseball Reference & Baseball Almanac it is.

I added a few additional websites below for viewing.
