T205 Master Set Card Post

[T205 Hunter]

The artwork/image on those Killifer stamps is amazing - don’t think I’ve seen one before.

Here’s Kling:

Knight, Sweep Caporal 42 red ink, with what is probably another Knight on the card above.

[RCMcKenzie]

Here's a nice Krause and a Konetchy that is in poor shape. The front is decent, but the back has scrapbook remnants attached. I guess I should soak it one day to see what brand it is. Green ink.

(found a nicer copy of Konetchy in a box, so I added it here.)

After these two ball players LaPorte is next:

First, miscut on a card with Lobert.
Then, some Honest and Polar Bear examples with varying degrees of "W" and/or "." showing up in the name on the back.

[tedzan]

Wyatt Lee......one of the 12 subjects representing the Eastern League......printed and issued in the Fall/Winter of 1911.

Leach was small in stature but apparently very fast. He hit four triples in 1903 in the first World Series game. Not surprisingly, it’s still a record.

No need to be circumspect, Bris is an American Beauty.

Here's one of the Mathewsons. My other is probably my favorite but I'll post the Cycle instead.

[orioles70]

That's a very nice Mathewson...it's a card I hope to acquire along with the Wilhelm variation to someday finish off the master set

Sorry to jump ahead, gang. Wanted to get in this Mattern, which is nice for a PB back. This is a good time for anyone to follow-up with a Matty. We all know they're out there. Rob

[gonzo]

Matty American Beauty green ink

Also, a bonus Mattern, miscut with a Minor League player to the left.

What’s up, Sport!

[GeoPoto]

In retrospect, George McBride had a very surprising nick name. He was known as "Pinch" because of his reputation for being able to hit in the clutch.

How he got that reputation is puzzling because, after playing 16 MLB seasons, McBride ends up having the lowest career batting average of any player with 5,000+ at-bats. Go figure. His defense must have been spectacular (he led the AL in fielding for four straight seasons), but his hitting was rarely excellent, clutch or otherwise.

And yet, in 1911, the year his gold-bordered baseball card was issued, "Pinch" produced his best single-season batting average -- .235. Now that's hitting in the clutch.

McConnell is up for the White Sox!

Pryor Mc with a little tobacco staining from the Polar Bear pouch

[tedzan]

McLean was big & slow, but he could Hit & Throw. He was probably the biggest Catcher ever in BB (6 ft. 5 in., 230 lbs.).
His Major League career spanned 13 years, mostly with Cincinnati (1906 - 1912). He was really loved by the Cinci fans.

6 ft. 5 in. 230 in 1911 - McLean must have stood out more then than Aaron Judge does today!


Here's McGraw, Hassan 649, miscut with Otis Crandall below.

Here’s Cubbie, Harry McIntire:

Crosstown rival Matty McIntyre, Polar Bear

George had a 3 year Major League career with Pittsburgh (1901 - 1903). As a Pitcher, he Won 3 and Lost none. He also was an Outfielder.

Moran no stray line, Piedmont 25, with probably the same card above.

[trambo]

No stray line above so here's a Stray Line example.

Moriarity, Polar Bear back

[T205 Hunter]

George Mullin won 29 games in 1909??!!
And 4 additional seasons with 20+ W’s!

Murphy, Piedmont factory 25, with another Murphy below.

[tedzan]

This interest in this game has diminished to a "snail's pace".

So it's time to speed it up by proceeding into the"N" group.

Here's John Nee

Needham, American Beauty green ink

Also, a bonus: Murray, Sovereign, with a vivid color difference on front and back, probably due to an environmental cause like adhesive, heat, and/or moisture.
