Definitely of this one, and all Lections. Perhaps less than six of each that do not have holes in them?

In the T222 thread it was noted that the John Henry is quite rare. Apparently this 1921 Holsum Bread issue of the same player has recently surfaced and is I suppose the only one known. It's not listed in the 2010 SCD catalog.

This guy got no love.

AS previously stated I think I have an unfair advantage. Kind of like Jeff L's advantage in arguing. When you do something all of the time it's not that difficult. Still don't know what this one is? (not the quarter, smart guy, the card)

1911 Zeenut Bohen. I've never even seen a scan of a complete one.

Let me throw W501's into the mix. There are 120 cards in the set and combined PSA and SGC have only graded 177 examples. I dont ever see raw ones except beaters. I may be missing something so any other thoughts are appreciated. Has anyone ever figured out for sure how these were distributed? Newspaper is what I have always assumed.

I believe you to be right. Here is my Ross Youngs w501. There have only been two graded by SGC, and this is the highest.

Hey Leon,

Great card.

What's the logo in bottom right corner of the card? I can't make it out by the scan.

By the way, my next dog is going to be named Ellsworth Ferguson.

This thread is quickly making me want to be a type collector.

Without digging through my collection I believe the little logo is a "Union Made" insignia.....or it could just be a copyright....not positive, off hand...

Here is a PSA label of an extremely rare card that I so happen to own...










Sadly I do not own the card. Instead:

Am I mistaking or didn't we find the box that the Foxx card was cut from? I thought it was some sort of game with lots of players pictures, similar to the one shown?

Leon...
About your Kon. card. I can tell you that many tickets from that era exhibit that trademark/union label.

I wonder if this is a piece of a ticket from league park?

Hi Joshua
I have seen a lot of tickets/schedules used as cards. This one doesn't exhibit the characteristics (stock, edges, corners etc....) that other tickets do, besides that trademark. It certainly is possible but I don't think so. Good observation and there is certainly a chance of what you said.....

Here is a schedule used as 2 cards, or vice versa

Only three or four known to my knowledge. About half the Mello Mint set is not tough, and half is insanely tough.
