I finally got my scanner working again, so I can post some pics.

I always enjoyed the Hugh Duffy pose that is much more commonly seen on a V100 Willards.

You dont see a ton of E123 Curtis Irelands...and a HOFer to boot

[ValKehl]

Another E123 Curtis Ireland:

Very nice E123, George.

I prefer my type cards to be Washington players:

[RCMcKenzie]

Awesome card, Val...Here's the J Wood cabinet card of Deasley...

[judsonhamlin]

Here' a Newsboy cabinet to keep the 19th century theme going

[BeanTown]

Adding to the Exhibits and 19th Century theme.

I just noticed you sent me a PM. But my responses keep failing. I think I have finally figured out that your in-box is full and not accepting messages. By the way, you're not saying my E123 is not a Washington player -- are you?

George, yes my inbox had reached its limit - sorry about this - I have now fixed this situation.

I recognize your nice E123 as being Stanley "Bucky" Harris, the "Boy Wonder." I'm looking for one of these cards or the V100 with the identical pose for my 1924 Senators collection.

Over the years I have met a very few " Type Collectors " The first one I met had a goal of collecting one card or "Type " from every baseball set before 1920. He was very different from most of the other collectors who collected sets of cards. He sold or traded all his doubles in pursuit of his goal.
Another subset of the true Type collector were the collectors who kept Type albums. I knew quite a few collectors that did this but very few that identified themselves as type collectors.

My goal before abandoning it was one of every baseball ACC numbered card before WWII. I was only a few away when I liquidated and started over. I still love types but won't be the completist I was.

Three scarcer singles from my #5 type collection, 1886 N48 & N508 lady baseball players and 1931 Diana Cigarerras. Found two of these at past Nationals and one of the lady baseball players on eBay. Don't plan to part with them anytime soon!

Some 1924 Diaz Cigarettes:

[Leon]

love this one...it cost me more to buy it the 2nd time.

[DixieBaseball]

Here's a rare pre-war type. The problem is we really don't know what type it is... Known as "Colgan's Chips Square Proofs". (Colgan's Chips Daubert for comparison purposes)

[fkm_bky]

Another Colgan square "proof". Would love to know more about these and if they truly were proofs.

Another "Fan for a Fan"...

Resurrection of an old thread.

Here is a Ruth but no cards are known, that I am aware of.

WT Cobb

[x2drich2000]

Damn Dan. btw, is that unique or are there other known Cobbs?

[ALR-bishop]

asphaltman, Dave Fast, posted a 1923 Fleer card earlier. The W515s are not hard to find but finding them with a Fleer back is pretty tough. And I think it is still unknown if all the W515s can be found with a Fleer back.

Still loving the Pinkerton cards...always willing to buy or trade for others

[clydepepper]

Can I play too?

My additions to this thread may be more mainstream than the rest, but they are pre-WWII and are rare:

1904 Allegheny Card Company 1/1:

1904 Allegheny Card Co- CHRISTY MATHEWSON PSA-5.jpg

'Double-Walter' from Leon's Type Card Auction:

1923 WG7 Walter Mails Game- WALTER JOHNSON SGC 80.jpg

The Hand-Cut Versions of 1941 Play Ball are supposedly much rarer:
