Show some Contentnea t209-2...c46 also

[Kawika]

The T209 black-and-whites are a bit mindful of Billikens in their rustic way, don't you think, Travis? Here are some of the small handful I have.





One of my little collecting projects is to gather any T209-2s and T210s for players who are depicted in the Contentnea Color series. I'm not too far along with it but here are a couple of players. The change in teams in each case suggest the order and timing of manufacture/distribution. (I don't think I just invented the light bulb).

John Cooper is listed at baseball-reference.com as a third baseman for Wilson of the Eastern Carolina League in 1909 and for Wilmington in 1910. I borrowed the T210 scan from vcp.com.



Marty Walsh was listed as an outfielder with Greensboro in 1909 and a pitcher in 1910 with Norfolk.

David,

Now that you mention it, they do. After seeing your post they also bring to mind one of the mid-1940s Venezuelan issues also...

GREAT cards! Thanks for posting!

I collect only Virginia League players in the T209-2 set. Am always looking to buy or trade for ones I don't have (subtle hint!). Can anyone tell me where I can find a list of the T209-2 subjects that shows what teams they are with?

Hi Val,

Lew Lipsets Encyclopedia has a checklist showing player and team for the T209-2 set.

for pointing this out to me. I have Lipset's 3-volume set. I guess that I just need to frequent it more often!
