I never get tired of posting Johnson's rookie from the 1908 PC760 Rose Company postcard set.

I don't go out of my way to collect (I always thought the extra demand/cost for them was not justified...about time some folks should tell me to stay away from this thread), but sometimes rookie HOF cards come a droppin' my way.
Here is my slenderized rookie W514 card of Ross Youngs, cleverly disguised as Pep Young. Check out his forehead shadowing, cleverly disguised as a wrinkle combover. Not to mention the offset goatee, eyelid, mini-mustache, and neck shadowing, all cleverly disguised as parts of a fingerprint. Brian Last edited by brianp-beme; 12-31-2022 at 01:44 PM. |

The Joe Jackson caramel is a great card, but unfortunately he is only a HOFer in some of our eyes. 😔

I overstepped and hoped that someday he would be eligible and then get elected

Love the Rose postcard, Kevin. That was one that I was never able to pick up when I was doing my original BB HOF Rookies set along with the Tris Speaker Rose. Is it still believed that the Rose Speaker doesn’t exist?

I always hold out hope that a Speaker exists in the set, but it is doubtful. Speaker showed up on a checklist back in 1982, but no image exists and no one that I know of has ever claimed to have seen one. If he does exist, he is not part of the original 192 card set that was issued in 1908. Each of the 16 teams had 12 players issued and all 12 Red Sox are accounted for. He was a rookie in 1908 and only played in 31 games, so it easy to see why he was not one of the 12 Red Sox that were produced in 1908. The Rose Company did issue about 10 additional players in 1909 in order to update some roster changes. These players differ from the original set of 192 cards as the type on the front is in a different font and their teams are omitted. IF Speaker was produced, he would surely be part of the 1909 subset of "updates." Last edited by Baseball Rarities; 12-31-2022 at 06:00 PM. |
