Tom Barker cards?

[brianp-beme]

Here is a good thread about the National Game and Tom Barker sets that was started over 10 years ago, and has a lot of great input over the years from members. I believe this thread helped establish that in 1913 the National Game cards were issued before the Tom Barker cards (which appeared to have been issued in 1914), and thus Grover Alexander's National Game card should have a leg up on his Tom Barker version when it comes to rookie card status.

Ok, never mind what I said.

Something that I don't believe was mentioned in the thread is that the player selection between the two sets slightly differs. Besides the team change for Hal Chase, there are 4 other cards that are not seen in both sets.

The National Game set has Bill Dahlen, Larry McLean, Jake Stahl and George Stovall that were not issued in the Tom Barker set, while the Tom Barker replaced these cards with Bill Carrigan, Chief Meyers, Zack Wheat and Ivy Wingo.
