That is very interesting Hank!
The card came from a fresh collection on the east coast that contained the Brunner's Cobb, The T-3 Proofs and many of the rare type cards in the auction. I rember looking at the card when it came in and I do believe it was on thinner paper stock then M101s as described by Hank. That being said it had a vintage cut and wear typical of what you would see on a VG card. Hank if you could email me a copy of your brochure I would greatly appreciate it. Once this is verifed obvioulsy the sale will be negated. Sincerely, Doug Allen |

Thanks Hank.
This is curious in a couple of other respects. First, The Successful Farming promo ad I posted last month shows how you could acquire 6 free cards--the same 6 in Hank's mailer except Wagner was replaced by some guy named Joe Jackson. The Lajoie in that group, however, showed the same image as his m101 card, and bears the same font/caption except for number as the m101. Seems Mendelsohn may have produced a "test" or "sample" set of 6 on a different sheet. This Lajoie is clearly different. However, since the other c. 1915 W-unc also shows the same image of Lajoie, I'm wondering if Hank can provide more information on this portion of his "strip" and its caption--for example, did they spell Lajoie's first name correctly?

Thank you Hank for the information. And thank you Doug Allen for stepping up to the plate on this one. Obviously, neither one of us thought this was a cut out from an advertising flyer.

BTW looking back at our notes in December we made an inquiry of Bob Lemke and he was of the belief that this card would be part of the "1915 W-UNC Strip Cards" series listed on page 604 of the 2012 Standard Catalog. That being said the checklist does not match the names identified by Hank on his advertising piece.

I looked at the catalogued W-UNC card listing during the auction and decided that the Lajoie couldn't be part of that set. The caption is very different and I think the sizes are a little different too. Also, the photo quality is very different. I really thought it was one of the 2 1/4" x 4" Mendelson proofs until I found out the size was too small.

Paul,
FWIW, the Mendelsohn "proofs" as you call them have a different font and do not use the double dash. Doug, While the checklist from Hank's mailer does not match up perfectly with known c. 1915 W-UNCs, four of the six are there. Perhaps the other two--Collins and Alexander--will surface. BTW, I was mistaken in my comparison of Hanks' 6 card strip to the Successful Farming Promos--the latter contain Baker instead of Collins.

I sincerely apologize for the confusion, but it wasn't until I saw Leon's blowup of the Legendary card (which it might actually be, my original input to the contrary) that I realized that the one on my mailer strip has several minor, but obviously very significant, differences. The size, image, and type font are exactly the same. BUT--my "Napolean" is spelled differently, and instead of being in all caps has only the "N," "L," and "J" in caps. In addition, mine has no double dash after the "B" in "2nd B." One other difference is the right margin, which on mine couldn't be cut quite as widely as seen in the Legendary example without impinging into the next "card" of Zimmerman to its right. The left margin of mine could be cut to 3/8" if desired, as that is the amount of blank space to the left border of the mailer. I feel terrible about any disruption I might have caused to the Legendary auction by my inaccurate intrusion upon it, and will immediately apologize to Doug and alert him to the new information. If the buyer sees this, you have my apology also. I will get scans of my piece up without a day or so for those who might be interested to see it, to show the differences I have mentioned, and also to partly atone for my sins.
Hank |
