It only took me almost two years of collecting this set to realize Carey was his rookie card .........

Sitting at 197 ......


Fun, fun, Scott

Nice job Scott. 197 T207 cards in less than two years is impressive. I think anything over 120 or so gets really tough to come by.

I have always liked the way the T207 artist(s) depicted wavy hair on many of the cards, including Carey's. Bresnahan comes to mind as another HOF with prominent wavy locks.

Not to high-jack a thread ...... ....... but by request .....

Two great examples of why, imo, T207s are a great set: Classic fielding poses, and some GREAT portraits ..................

Based on design, Hooper obviously comes with an Anon.3 back. That would be a card I'd like to have (one day ) as I am trying to get as many Recruit Anon.3s as possible.

Fun, fun, Scott

Plus one just past pre-war

I believe Hooper also comes with a Red Hindu back.

Some fun items at Hakes. I don't always keep track of their auctions, but glad I knew about this one. Absolutely psyched about the Hubbell. It's been on my wish list for years.

Love the Hubbell Ian, congrats on the pick ups.

Not sure what back you're referring to, John. Hooper's now known with 5 backs, with 1 other possible:

Recruit Fac 240
Recruit Fac 606
Napoleon
Anon, Fac 3
blank

He could also be found with a brown-ink back, but that's unconfirmed at the present.

Here's the 5 known backs - the blank back images are from a recent CleanSweep auction - it is not my card.
