Great question Gary. I can speak to a few of the issues. As far as I know, all Dogs Head N173s are unique with the exception of Kelly (two copies). California League N172 vary. Some are unique, some have two copies, Levy and Perrier have, I believe, three. Barry has already said that there are two 4BH Kellys. I think I have seen duplicate copies of one or two others but I wouldn't swear to it. I have seen multiple copies of Lone Jacks. My view is that they do not belong in this group. S F Hess California League photographic cards are also very scarce with only a few copies, at most, of most known players. Again, Levy seems to be the most readily available.

Levy is most prevalent among the N321 Hess color issue. Is he also seen frequently in N338?

Barry-If that is the photographic issue(I'm bad at remembering set numbers) then yes. He is the most common. Must have been a lot of Jewish collectors back then.

Gary- interesting point, and I agree that with these very rare sets there was some specific reason for so limited a distribution. But are you saying that a Four Base Hits was issued only so friends of the tobacco company could get a sample? I doubt that; I think they were designed for distribution but maybe something happened between the time they planned the set and when it was ready for circulation.
Jay- I was thinking the same thing. It's a very Jewish set if Levy is double or triple printed in both color and photographic. Last edited by barrysloate; 09-06-2010 at 11:45 AM. |

N338-1 is similar and I agree nearly all of the players are likely unique. And if there were a new find of them I would expect at least one or two would be new to the checklist.

One other very rare issue, though perhaps not quite as rare as those mentioned above is the N167 Old Judges. I believe there are only 4-6 known of about ten of the twelve catalogued cards and less (if any) of two others.
