I am going in so many directions I decided to quit collecting the orange bordered series 3 cards. I did keep the yellow'ish looking dude with the cool coat though. Some cards I just like for their aesthetics...

[Epps]

I picked up the Schafer Series 4 and Bussey Series 2. I liked both of them for the poses and hope to continue to pick up more.
That Benny card is one of the coolest cards that I have ever seen. What series is he from?

David, you may be my lone audience since Frank has left the building. Let me give a 2nd hint in case Frank logs back on to view as I would like to test his Lexington Colt accumen! A third hint is forthcoming if no taker's and also this great grandson bares the same last name as someone in the Series 6 set.

Hint #1 - What Lexington Colt had a great grandson who played in the Big's ?
Hint #2 - This Lexinton Colt's great grandson also played at the University of Kentucky

The 13 Old Mill cards of the Winchester Hustlers.... 1910. They finished in 3rd place in the league, 15 games back, with a 61-58 record.


Top row: Ernest Atwell, P; Michael Barney, 2B; Wesse Callahan, SS; Ed Coleman, OF; Cornell; and Eddie Goostree, 3B.

Eddie Goostree, 3B; Newton Horn, C; George Kircher, C; Charlie Mullen, 1B; McKee Reed, OF; Fred Toney, P; and Joe Yeager, OF.


I think Cornell is Lester Cornell of Frankfort. There are 2 Cornell cards in series 6, one Frankfort and one Winchester. Lester Cornell is the only Cornell that appears in the 1910 records.

Wesse Callahan appeared in 7 games for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1913. I think this is his only card. (The #5 1992 Beckett Alphabetical Checklist says there are no cards for Wesley Callahan.)

Charlie Mullen played in 1910 and 1911 for the White Sox, and 1914-1916 for the Yankees. Some lists have card #24 in both years of the Cracker Jack cards as being Charlie, but that card is George Mullin.

Fred Toney had the great 21 inning complete game no hitter in 1909 in the Blue Grass Leauge. He was in the majors for 12 seasons, playing for the Cubs, Reds, Giants, and the Cardinals. He posted a 139-102 record with an ERA of 2.69. He got to the World Series in 1921.

Joe Yeager with that bat has one fine pose. I think that Goostree with the bat is one very difficult card to locate.




And Dave, Mr. Lipset's Encyclopedia has a great listing of the cards, that has team designations. There are a few typos. I can get you a series 6 list that is correct, send me an email if you want it.

Frank- thanks for sharing. That's the first time I have ever seen the L'Heureux and Heveron cards.
John- Nice cards. Is that Burch the card that just sold on ebay and which I got outsniped?

[DixieBaseball]

Frank - The Cornells look close to me, but not definitive. By the way, here is some boilerplate for you to think about... What Lexington Colt had a gr-grandson who played in the Big's ? (Hint #1)

[Kawika]

I was going to say that there's no way those two Cornells were the same guy-the ears, lobes particularly, were actually way different- but now Frank has erased all his posts for the last 10 days or so (way to go, Rob). As for your quiz, Jeremy, best I can do is "Who was Pee Wee Reese's grandfather, Alex?" Hope an answer is forthcoming.

I'm new to this forum, and I have already received a great benefit. I collect (among other things) cards of players born in the State of Washington. Until now I believed there were no cards of Charlie Mullen (B Seattle, 1899). He was the third player from Washington to debut in the majors.

I found this thread while trying to find out if Mullen of Dallas was perhaps Charlie Mullen. Apparently not, but post #40 about the 1910 Winchester team identified the Mullin card as being Charlie Mullen. Baseball-Reference confirms that Charlie did play for Winchester that year. Now I have something specific to find - Charlie's T210. Great!
