S74 Collectors - Need help with theory regarding white version checklist
Posted By: Bob Casmer
Been working on collecting the S74-1 (white version) and S74-2 (colored version) sets of silks for quite a while. I recently found the last S74-2 colored silk I needed (thanks to Dan Paradis) a little over a month ago. There are still five of the S74-1 white version silks eluding me. In talking with other collectors over the years, these same five silks seem to be on everyone else's want list also. I'm beginning to wonder if these actually exist and I have a possible theory about it. |

Very nice investigating you have going on here. Recently I acquired a small group of silks and the only thing I can do is confirm that I have a Steifeldt Cubs with a Red Sun back. None of the other players listed were in the grouping. BTW, since you seem to study and collect these somewhat.....are you in agreement with what I am to understand; that there are only 3 known Helmar (paper) backed S74-1's, or might you know of more? |

Thanks Andrew. Very good point. I've never read the Lipset books, and probably should. I'll have to get a hold of a copy and check out the article. I'd be extremely interested to see how the double and triple printed silks match up to numbers I've seen of the silks over the years. There are definitely some players that you find with no difficulty while others....well, maybe you'll see an example come up for sale or auction somewhere once in a blue moon, if even that often. |

i think the checklist is incorrect. every collector i know of is looking for the same silks. |

Thanks for chiming in. I know you have collected and tracked S74 as much as almost anyone. From everything being discussed it does look like the checklist is incorrect. Maybe we can get Bob Lemke's idea on the checklist? best regards |

Good point Leon. Or would Don Fluckinger be the better person to contact as he's the current SCD Catalog Editor? I know he posts on here every once in a while. I was hoping he might see the thread and chime in. |

I used to collect these Bob. I used Lew Lipset's book as my checklist master and would cross them off as I got them. This is what I got out and looked at. My memory was bad, I thought I had gotten up to 77 when I gave up...it was 67. |
