T-206 CIGARETTE BASEBALL CARDS Booklet By Richard S. Egan Jan '66

Thank you, gentlemen!
The story I heard way back is word for word what is printed!

I found this statement by Egan in his closing paragraph very interesting......

"This is not in itself uncommon, in fact a set issued with caramels during the same period claims a 100 to the set, but today 117
are known and a few more are found periodically."

I'm sure he is alluding to the E90-1 set of 120 subjects. Therefore, it is interesting that in 1966, three cards in this set were not
yet known.

My 1st guess is Tris Speaker as one of the unknowns. A 2nd could be Mike Mitchell. The 3rd could be any one of the following....
Duffy, Graham, Stahl, Sweeney, or Walsh.

Great post-I had never heard of this before. The evolution of the pre-war checklists was almost glacial, this was 50+ years later and still there were gaps in E90-1.

great choice of words!
glacial---yes, absolutely

Sorry for the delay, Scott. I sent out a group last night, but held yours out because I wanted to add a personal note concerning your website. Then, I forgot and went to bed. Sorry, man. Poop happens.

Anyway, you should have it now. Hope you enjoy the booklet.
