wow.. this is a beautiful card. stunning back too!

Not a set, but there is always questions why Joe Jackson is not in the T206 set (when he is in E90-1) and why there is no Cracker Jack of Babe Ruth.

Also, I always wonder why T204 does not includes so major HOFers, such as Cobb, Wagner, Young, Mathewson, Lajoie, etc... I doubt its the "tobacco thing" because T204 is one of the few tobacco issues to contain a Plank.

It will always be a shame that Gehrig didn't get a 1939 Play Ball card. What a beautiful card it was sure to be.

Although they don't exist I would love to see an E92 Bender white cap Crofts Candy in Red & Blue.

As ginormous (technical term) as N172 is, it wouldn’t shock me at all if there were additional subjects, especially in the California League as well as guys like Pop Snyder, and additional poses that no longer are extant.
And, I think there are some W600’s and T5 Pinkertons that are on the ‘official’ checklist that have no known copies.

Speaking of Gibson, his Harrison Studio PC was pretty much unknown to the world until 2005 and I’d assume the the currently known checklist isn’t the extent of what was produced.

My brother once told me that all the 'ultra rarities' from the early Zeenut sets were framed in the home of an early collector who helped catalog the sets. When his family sold the collection this was lost in the transfer of ownership and believed to have been accidently tossed into the trash. This is supposedly why there are 10-12 Zeenut cards that are cataloged but can not be confirmed to exist. Maybe he will chime in and tell a better version of the story.

I had to look this up. This thing has to be a top 10 grail in the auto hobby -- signed on both sides ... incredible.
