SCD Standard Catalog Errata & Corrections (Attn: Bob Lemke)

[rhettyeakley]

Jeff, I'm glad you brought up the Exhibit issues, I've been meaning to bring up the following....

I have shown this variation before and it is yet to be catalogued anywhere. One of the cards is likely a part of the 1923 or 1924 sets and (for some reason) they thought to re-crop the O'Neil photo. I haven't really paid attention to whether one is tougher than the other (but I suspect one is--and from a later years (1923 or 1924) set).

Cool idea, even if stuff won't make it till 2012.

If there's a matching thread in postwar, feel free to move this
(I read prewar first them work my way down the page)

Just one non pre war item I know about. The 1979 Red Sox team issued set on page 48 of the 2010 book isn't team issued. They were sold as a set by a street vendor located on the bridge over the mass pike. At the time the rumor was that they were made by Fenway sportscards, a shop at the far end of Kenmore square. I never did verify that though. The set also has a few more cards than are listed. The unlisted ones are double sided and I'd need some help figuring out who the players are.

Other than that just a few oddities of the pricing, like the E90-1 Summers showing as being expensive, and a few sets that have weird things like a price for commons, but no cards listed as commons. I'm betting those have mostly been caught and other typos have crept in. Just the nature of such a huge undertaking.

Great book, I've had a few of them over the years.

Interesting question, Rhett. Seems to me that the closer cropped picture is the later one but since I have one I have to guess that the closer cropped one is the easier hence earlier one.

Thought I would drag over the list of cards from the other thread concerning the E121 series of 80 that are currently catalogued but have not been verified (all back types--we won't worry about the back variation availability yet).

Cards that possibly do not exist in the E121 series of 80 set:

G.C. Alexander (arms above head)
Ty Cobb (throwing, Face Front)
Alexander Gaston (with position)
Alexander Gaston (no position)
Fred Schupp (not 'Ferd')
Tris Speaker (batting-small projection)

I dont have the 2010 yet, but in the 2009 there are a couple I can think of. (I dont have the guide with me right now)

Price listed is way off
1925 Holland Ice Cream #16 Peckinpaugh card (chase card)
There is only a single known example and it sold 1 time as far as I know of..... I sold it about 8 years ago (privately) for $3K in G/VG yet the catalog still has it listed at $2500 NRMT. IMO it should be listed at roughly $10K NRMT, $5K EX, $3K VG, if not more (it is similar to the 1923 Maple Crispettes #15 Stengel card).

Error
the 1920 W519 numbered type 2 (aka W519-2-2)
There are 3 cards listed as "b" variations (12b, 13b, 20b) that Im 99.997% sure are really misidentified W521's.
W519-2-2 have light blue numbers, W521 have black numbers.

Update
W517-2 mini's, the complete set is only 16 cards, not 54 like the normal W517's.

Rhett/Adam,
My O'Neil is the closer cropped one as well leading me to believe that it is the easiest and most likely the '22 and the other a '23-'24 if not a '22 variation.
