Lets see your: Stan Coveleskis

Of course I'll add my usual(s)...

I believe that the one with the single line caption as released in Dec 1920, and the two line caption version came out in January 1925, but my m114 release dates study isn't completed, yet.

He was briefly a Yankee in 1928. Here is a Thorne Photo

Don’t know where you found that one, Paul. Back in the early 2000’s when I was doing the HOF RC collection, the Zeenut Coveleski was the only pre-rookie of all the Zeenuts sets that I was never able to own. A near impossible card to find from probably the scarcest Zeenut set there is.

Not pre-war, but the only one I have:

The E220 National Caramel has the same photo also. Coveleski was one of the players during the 1920's that had his name spelled incorrectly on a frequent basis, about the same frequency as occurred with either Ross Youngs (Young) or Rogers (Roger) Hornsby, but with more misspelling variety. Because of this I assume the Roaring 20's was also known as the 'Spelling Deficient Decade'.

The E220 set is an interesting early 1920's set that contains a large percentage of unique photos (but obviously not Coveleski) not seen in other sets. Another set from that same stretch of time, W503, is also a great one because it includes all (I believe) unique photos of the 64 players included, which Stan is one of them. Perhaps someone (if this were a MLB trade this Net54 player would be named later) will provide Coveleski's W503 card image.

Ends up the Net54 player to be named later be brianp-beme.

Might as well add his only Yankee card (least I think it is)

Coveleski had almost 1,200 MLB plate appearances, but hit only .159.
Here he is swinging the bat in 1925:
