N172 “No Name” Cards

[Fred]

You can barely see Hafner's name at the bottom of the card. If the image wasn't enlarged you wouldn't notice the name unless you had a magnifying glass and someone told you to look for it.

Edited to add the following comment: I always have fun trying to post an image here. I hope the link is working. Yes, it's that Hafner... the same one that Kevin posted.

Nice card Joe!! I was wondering who got that one, I got the Dolan

My guess is that this error happened during Con's team change which is why you've only found it on an 1888 card. Someone must have peeled Daley, Boston off and forgot to apply the new name. It's amazing to me that there is more then one of those still around.

Hey Fred, you picked a good one, assuming you posted an image of Hafner's 5th pose (207-5). This pose was issued in two versions in 1889, just like Hoffman above, one in script and one with a block text panel for name, position, and team. Can you try editing your post above to get it to show? I'm not able to see your attachment.

Matt, nice pick-up on the Dolan. Virginia (biggrandmama) has been listing some nice looking cards. Nothing that will grade high, but great photos.
