Rarely seen, show us some E97 Briggs Lozenge cards

[tedzan]

Here's my type card to start this show....Howie Camnitz (it lists Simon Nichols with Cleveland, which indicates it's the 1910 variation).

Hi Ted,

The red on that card is very rich and vibrant...so is the blue. What a wonderful specimen. Thanks for sharing.

Best regards,

Eric

I aquired my E97(?) B/W in 1995 while interviewing for dental college in cleveland. I found this awesome card shop on euclid that had a red hindu t206 crandall, a few e97 b/w's...tons of t206's and other old stuff. I didn't want to pay the $250 asking price for the red hindu...but I did buy 2 e97 b's's...including this nichols. The other had a corner torn off...it may have been kleinow...but it's log gone.

I later called and bought the red hindu crandall for the $250 asking price.

I have been going for the 3 card run of nichols since then. I have never pulled the trigger on the phil variation...I think tbob has 2...how about it bob!!!!!!

[Jacklitsch]

Still have 2 of the 3

Thanks....and, if it wasn't for the paper loss in the lower front of this card, it would be a real gem. Its back is cleaner than most of the E97 cards.

Anyhow, I shouldn't complain about the "paper loss" on it, for I purchased this card for a very reasonable price at an Antique shop in Ohio.

Take care, Eric

Here are my three Sullivan variations:

Here's an oddity from my collection. What's kind of neat about this is that I've seen the e97 and e98 Meyers in various shades of yellow and orange in the past. I've never seen a "two-toned" example of any card however, that's quite like this one. A gradiant, perhaps...but never a hard break in the background color from one shade to another.
