No Anson in uniform?

I am delighted and privileged to own even one of those.

It would be interesting to see a top 10 most rare HOF by pose (not year or team change bc then you get into PL ect)...just poses.

I'd imagine these would have to be up there:

Deacon White Portrait (McGreachery)
Cap Anson in Uniform
Roger Connor Bat Resting on Left Shoulder
Delahanty Bat Horizontal
Harry Wright Looking Left

Maybe throw in a few of the tougher Deacon White poses...

Any others I'm missing?

Delahanty Bat Horizontal

Apparently I have the ultra rare DelEhanty (double E) version!!

[oldjudge]

I think Brian has most of the right poses with the exception of Delahanty --bat horizontal which I don't think belongs on the list:

1-Connor bat on L/shoulder--2
2- McGreachery (Deacon White portrait)-2
3- Hamilton-Philadelphia (His true rookie)-3
4-Wright looking L-3
5- One of the McPhee batting poses-3
6- Anson in Uniform-4/5

A few of the other White poses might make the list but I don't have a good enough feel for their pops. Joe might be able to hazard a better guess.

Jay: Is it McCreachery (per book) or McGreachery ?

[oldjudge]

I think it is McGreachery. If you look at the card (see REA archives) compare the letter in question to the G in Goodwin and the C in Company at the bottom of the card. It sure looks like the G to me, although they are very similar.

Jay-

The Wright looking left has 5 different graded sales on VCP (1 could be a reslab I suppose) where Delahanty only has 1 (GAI 1).

How many different Delahanty Bat Horizontals have you come across over the years? You've definitely seen more than me but I was only able to find the 1 public sale.

Also, I was asking about the top 10 poses specifically and not including team changes (ie Hamilton to PHI or any PL).

Hey Jay - Why would this be considered his rookie card and not his earlier cards that picture him with the Kansas Citys?

[Schwertfeger1007]

DOH!!

You're right Jay my bad. We're up at our cabin for the week so I'm OJ Bibleless.

Kevin- I'm guessing he's going to say it's bc KC wasn't considered a ML team. I guess same would apply to Nichols Omaha vs when he finally showed up in Boston in 1890.
