1909 S74 Silks

[MacDice]

Does anyone have an image of the Harry Smith card from the 1909 S74 Silks set that you can share?

If I recall - that is Tony Smith and Harry does not exist. Maybe a typo in the catalog. A search in forum history should get you the answer.

Eric is correct, the Harry Smith reference is incorrect and it it only Tony Smith cards and images that are in the S74 set. There was a question about that Tony Smith silk with him on the Boston Rustlers team from a thread started back on 6/28/17. I've never done this before but, I believe this is the link to that thread. There is an image of both Tony Smith silks in that thread also, one with him on the Brooklyn Superbas and the other with him on the Boston Rustlers. If this isn't the correct way to include a link to another thread, hopefully someone else can pop in and do that. Just never tried doing that before and not sure if I got it right.

By the way, it was originally thought that the S74 silks were initially issued starting in 1909, along with when the T205 cards were first came out. Likely because they used the exact same images on both issues. I believe the consensus opinion now though is that the T205s came first and that the white version S74-1s didn't commence production and issuance till 1910, not 1909.

I always thought that T205 was not issued until 1911, although the photos used for the lithographs likely were generated earlier.

I take that back, you're right about the T205s not supposedly being issue till 1911. I always figured they would have produced the cards with those images first, not the other way around then. Still the thinking on the silks is they weren't initially issued till 1910 and not in 1909.
