Since the Coughlin find goes some way to show there are no absolutes, is it realistic to think another new subject - a Cal League player or other ‘should’ve been included’ player - might crop up? I’m looking at you, Pop Snyder…

I’d say it is possible but not likely. Realizing the card or cards haven’t shown up for over 130 years, the odds for them showing up now isn’t good. That makes the appearance of the Coughlin all the more remarkable.

I think there is an uncatalogued Dave Rowe portrait with the Denver team variation in the Denver Public Library collection which I brought to Jay and Joe’s attention several years ago. Almost certainly the only example of that variation. So previously unknown things do occasionally turn up, although—thanks to Jay and Joe’s exhaustive research—not that often.

Hi Scot! Team variations of a specific pose and unlisted poses still come up occasionally. What rarely shows up are new players or even new teams for a player (team previously unknown on any of the player's poses).

Jay: Just wondering . Why would a cigarette company spend all the money to produce a card ( production, printing, rent a studio, pay a photographer etc) and then only produce maybe 1-5 cards of that player ?

And by the way, OJs weren’t printed; they consisted of very thin albumen photographic prints glued to cardboard and then cut into individual cards. The OJ book has a section on how they were produced.

David—I think Mike’s point related to the rarity of certain cards (Mike-please correct me if I am wrong). Obviously, only a percentage of cards produced have survived over the last 130+ years. What percentage is that—don’t know. However, I would guess that card numbers were reduced fairly evenly amongst the set’s subjects. That being the case, why is Player A common today and Player B rare? Part of that may be explained by certain players having cards issued over several years and other only having cards issued in one year. Part may be that people saved star cards and threw away scrub cards. I don’t know if there was a regional factor associated with the cards issuance, st Goodwin would put more Chicago players into packs that were sold in the Midwest. If that were the case then, everything else held equal, small market cards would be scarcer than big market cards. Finally, as I mentioned before, maybe breakage of glass plate negatives had something to do with it. I’m sure if we thought about it more we could come up with other possible factors, but ultimately we will never know for sure.
