American Caramel E121 series of 80 survey revisited

[rondiamond]

I am 100% positive that there are NO Alex Gaston cards. I've been collecting this set for 20 years and have completed what should be a complete set and after 500 shows and a half dozen nationals...and after a dozen reply letters from the major dealers in this country...NO ONE has seen this supposed player for this cataloged set. PSA says they graded one, which was put up on Ebay recently but was a 1922 E121...not a 1921. I've tried several times to get PSA to change it's list of players for this set but they are too busy and don't care.
Thanks for bringing this question up.

Hi Ron...thanks for bringing back this post. Maybe others can chime in about the various mysteries of this issue mentioned in this thread. Your point about the Alexander Gaston card is duly noted. I would be surprised if any of these were to pop up, considering how long you have looked.

Since you seem to have quite a nice collection of the E121 80 series cards, I would like you (or anyone else out there) to help us out with possibly narrowing down the 'Might not exist' list. Here is how it currently stands:

E121 80 series checklisted cards that might not exist:

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)


Let us know if there are any of these out there, and if so, which type of back (type 1, 2, or 3) it has.


Thanks,

Brian
