Default 1911 - E94 George Close Candy Cards

This is my only one for now but there will probably be more in the future. Anyone else like the Close cards?

George Close's card offering of 1911 is one of my favorite sets, the imagery, quality of the cardstock, and printing puts the set well above many sets of the era. And you can't beat the color saturation. A Candy card set should look like a bowl of lifesavers and with 7 different background colors the E94 hits all the marks.

Here's some Reds.

The "floating ball" Laj is such a unique image and one of my favorites, there were some floating ball images pre 1900 but I'm not sure how many were post 1900, I'd be interested to see any examples during dead ball. Of course nothing can beat the great Gus Zernial of 1952.

There's also the t201 lajoie with similar pose. I'm sure they nailed the balls to zernials bat for the 52' image!!!!!!

I love the e94 lajoie!!!!!

Great cards everyone!!...Bob no one on this thread would be bored by a long discussion of orange E94s...Steve that is cool...when I first starting putting my set together many years I had no idea about the rarity of player/color combos...I had a mangled purple Wagner without realizing how rare it was...Jerry

Nothing special, but my 2 examples. I find these alongside a red E98 Hippo Vaughn at a card store in Cooperstown, NY that apparently thought they were common T206's and priced accordingly when I was ~12. My Dad bought me all 3 and made my year.

I should pick up a type of the other background colors at some point.

It'd be interesting to see how close we could get to an Orange Set with members posting here.

For some sets I just feel fortunate enough to be able to share a card on here (I did previously post the mystery McGraw, but I don't really count that one as an E94), so here is my nicely off-center Murray.

Great set! My favorite is the Dougherty which I don’t own anymore, bummer.

Default Doolan run

Received the E97 BW today from Bill Kasel to finish off this run. I sprinkled in the E97s and an M131 along the way.

Steve, awesome seeing all your Bescher’s & Doolan’s laid out. Brian, definitely two Orange Cobb’s, a PSA 7 & PSA 8. Here’s another to the thread.
