Jim,
If your talking about the Crockett T-209 I have reason to keep my mouth shut about the card.There is a certian shall we say "Other" on here that think he is inferior to everyone else,puts down people who do research etc and I know that you chit-chat with him.So in a one liner ,I don't care what you or anyone else want to believe about the card but yes 3 jim I have seen.Check with Lipset's newsletters and see who actually found the first card and there could be a description in there.

I am not angry with you as it may sound but I have not been feeling good and losing a friend takes it's toll on ones self.

Oh and one other thing I nearly completed that set as well and my type I cards I got were all in Nr. MT condition and grabbed those in the 80's for 150.00 each,high nuimbers for that era but I paid it because of the condition.
Regards,
Ralph.

Thanks Butch for posting but none of the cards were what I was looking for,I wanted one with his mustache as I wanted to draw it in charcol and pastels as the cards look so cool like lithographs,I have done portraits for friends of their family members and I want to draw some of the hall of famers from the 19th century I was thinking of drawing the photo I had of my N-142 Duke cabinet card of Ed Delehanty as I have a photograph of that one,might give it a shot later today.
Regards,
Ralph.

I don't underatand why anger would even be brought up. I have discussed the Crockett with many board members and also a collector at the National that had a rather large 209 find and still the Crockett was absent.
I thought I asked rather politely for a scan or discription. You have this as your signature and I thought you could help me and I hope you will even if it is private email. Thanks...

Did you ever draw a picture of O'Rourke?
I'm interested in seeing it once it's completed.
