Here's one of the Mathewsons. My other is probably my favorite but I'll post the Cycle instead.

[orioles70]

That's a very nice Mathewson...it's a card I hope to acquire along with the Wilhelm variation to someday finish off the master set

Sorry to jump ahead, gang. Wanted to get in this Mattern, which is nice for a PB back. This is a good time for anyone to follow-up with a Matty. We all know they're out there. Rob

[gonzo]

Matty American Beauty green ink

Also, a bonus Mattern, miscut with a Minor League player to the left.

What’s up, Sport!

In retrospect, George McBride had a very surprising nick name. He was known as "Pinch" because of his reputation for being able to hit in the clutch.

How he got that reputation is puzzling because, after playing 16 MLB seasons, McBride ends up having the lowest career batting average of any player with 5,000+ at-bats. Go figure. His defense must have been spectacular (he led the AL in fielding for four straight seasons), but his hitting was rarely excellent, clutch or otherwise.

And yet, in 1911, the year his gold-bordered baseball card was issued, "Pinch" produced his best single-season batting average -- .235. Now that's hitting in the clutch.

. . . but I screwed up and can't figure out how to change pictures in the original mistake. So here is the proper image (I hope).

After clicking on the Edit button, on the new screen click on the 'Go Advanced' button located at the bottom of the gray frame. On the new screen scroll to the bottom section labeled 'Additional Options' and click on the 'Manage Attachments" button. And you will be able to delete and add images.

The 'Go Advanced' button is also used if you ever need to change the title of a thread you created.

[GeoPoto]

Thanks. That makes sense. I was scared of "advanced". And in a panic to clean up after myself.

McConnell is up for the White Sox!

Pryor Mc with a little tobacco staining from the Polar Bear pouch

[tedzan]

McLean was big & slow, but he could Hit & Throw. He was probably the biggest Catcher ever in BB (6 ft. 5 in., 230 lbs.).
His Major League career spanned 13 years, mostly with Cincinnati (1906 - 1912). He was really loved by the Cinci fans.

6 ft. 5 in. 230 in 1911 - McLean must have stood out more then than Aaron Judge does today!


Here's McGraw, Hassan 649, miscut with Otis Crandall below.

Here’s Cubbie, Harry McIntire:

Crosstown rival Matty McIntyre, Polar Bear

[tedzan]

George had a 3 year Major League career with Pittsburgh (1901 - 1903). As a Pitcher, he Won 3 and Lost none. He also was an Outfielder.

That is a cool Mike Mitchell!

Moran no stray line, Piedmont 25, with probably the same card above.

[trambo]

No stray line above so here's a Stray Line example.

[gonzo]

Moriarity, Polar Bear back

[T205 Hunter]

George Mullin won 29 games in 1909??!!
And 4 additional seasons with 20+ W’s!

Murphy, Piedmont factory 25, with another Murphy below.

[tedzan]

This interest in this game has diminished to a "snail's pace".

So it's time to speed it up by proceeding into the"N" group.

Here's John Nee

Needham, American Beauty green ink

Also, a bonus: Murray, Sovereign, with a vivid color difference on front and back, probably due to an environmental cause like adhesive, heat, and/or moisture.

[tedzan]

Rebel Oakes was quite the "speedster". A left-handed batter, he once laid down a Bunt, and scored in the same play.
The combination of his speed around the bases, an error (or two) by the opposing team resulted in a "Bunt - HR"

Olmstead, Broad Leaf, with a slight ink transfer on the front

[brianp-beme]

Piedmont factory 25 is Overall the most common T205 back.

[tedzan]

Whoops, forgot that Fred Parent goes before Paskert.

[t206fanatic]

Fred Parent, one of the eight (!) Fred's in the T205 set.

[brianp-beme]

This Fred is a Payne in the Cycle.

[tedzan]

Dode Paskert with a DRUM back......

April 13, 1911 Phillies vs the Giants at the Polo Grounds, Dode made a spectacular catch which many Baseball historians consider the greatest catch ever in Baseball.
In the bottom of the 8th inning, Fred Snodgrass of the Giants smashed a deep line drive into the left-center field gap at the Polo Grounds. It looked for sure to be an
inside-the-park Home Run. Dode raced after the drive and at the last moment turned, and dove to the ground, and caught the ball with his bare hand.

Love that Drum Paskert.

Here's Payne, Piedmont 25.

Also, a couple of bonus Paskert freaks - vertical miscut with another Paskert, and a yellow border/goldless.

[tedzan]

Yea....I'm out of order alphabetically....but this pop to the top of this page may put this game in play today.

I think Pelty and Pfiester were missing. And they are found...

[RCMcKenzie]

Gang, are we on Phelps? Here's a Phelps, my Deacon Phillipe back run can wait for another day.

[tedzan]

I get a kick out of doing complete runs of my favorite T205 guys. Jack Quinn is one of the 32 subjects that were printed with the A - B - C - D back pattern.
This group of 32 guys were each printed with 11 different Tobacco backs. I need 3 more backs for the complete run. I have a deal going for the BROAD LEAF
and HONEST LONG CUT cards. The DRUM card is extremely difficult to find.
No concern regarding HINDU. T205 DRUM and HINDU are mutually-exclusive backs.


A - B - C - D pattern.

“Bugs” the boozer Raymond.

“ Teammate Rube Marquard once said that Bugs didn’t spit on the ball, he just breathed on it and it came up drunk.”

YIKES!

I will post a better scan and back later when I get home. This is one of the nicest examples in my near set

[gonzo]

Reulbach, Piedmont 25, with a handwritten back holding the card together.

This is one of my favorite cards. I imagine a kid carefully rescuing the torn card and writing the bio on the back as well as possible.

Gonzo,

Love that Reulbach card!

[tedzan]

Hey Gonzo.....you gotta love your Ed Reulbach card, very cool.

Here's the John Rowan card, it is a Short-Print....it's quite tough to find.
