Dan,

Is that Keeler a mislabeled Type 2?

I'm not sure. I guess it is there is more gray in mine then the Type 1, but it looks like the caption is (was) the same. I would love to cross it over, but SGC said it was to small. I wonder if PSA would encapsulate it?

Does anyone out there have an image of a Type 2 Keeler you can post?

Size notwithstanding, I'm inclined to think your example is a Type 2. Not only is the color different and hand cut, the font is different than the Type 1. Note the alignment of the white spot below his vest buttons at the bottom of the portrait. It aligns with the "ld" in "Fielder" on the Type 2s and aligns closer to the "Fi" in "Fielder" on the Type 1. Keeler is one of the 9 players that have been found to have a Type 2.

I still love the card. I just think it is a Type 2 after studying it more.

I'm sure there are some board members out there that own some of the big name HOF's from this set. Let see some Wagners, Mathewson's, & Delehanty's?

I'll get my beater example out of the way before any others post their nicer ones.

Let's see your e107's, with that screen name you must be holding out on us!

Marc S.,

Your E107 is misidentified as Ira Thomas when it should be Roy Thomas.

Grading companies frequently make this mistake. Ira only played for the Philadelphia As not the Phillies.

A couple more to keep us going...

Have we ever noted, and forgive me if I've forgotten, that the E107 pose of Chief Zimmer is the same one used for his Just So card?

interesting, especially since the Young is obviously a different photo. who was the photographer for the Just So cards?

[barrysloate]

I have no idea who photographed the Just So's. There were many photos taken of Young, so a more current one was used. But the Zimmer photo was already ten years old when it was used on the E107. Maybe that was the only one they had available.
