Checklist for N48 Dixie Women and N508 Sub Rosa
 

Collectors have asked this question before but the answers always seem to be a bit vague, so I am going to ask it again.

How many cards make a complete set of N508 Sub Rosa Womens BB? Nine?

How many cards make up a complete set of N48 Dixie Cigarettes Womens BB?
I have 11 different which I will list if anyone is interested.

Is the checklist for Virigina Brights the same for Dixie Women or are there cards that appear in VB that don't appear in Dixie?

Many thanks

The 2011 Krause SCD says that as many as 36 different photos of N48 and N508 exist. It doesn't give specifics. I am not sure if I have ever seen a definitive list.

Thanks for the help Leon. BTW... you once mentioned in a post about N48 that you had a Virginia Bright with and without borders that the grading service thought was trimmed. I too have some Dixies with and without borders. Did the grading service ever acknowledge that it was a variation and not trimmed?

Since I quit collecting 19th Century I never dealt with that issue after the fact. I am quite sure had I brought the cards and the evidence to any of the 3 major grading companies they would have numerically slabbed the one without borders. It was quite obvious with the other one in hand for comparison. Neat cards.

I will start out the checklist that other collectors can add to. Here's what I have:

N 48 Dixie Cigarettes

Cards with numbers:
#1,2,7,8.

Cards with a position instead of number:

The Catcher, The Batter, lst Base, Stealing Second, Short Stop, 3rd Base and Pitcher which is like Card #8 but has "Pitcher" instead of number.

I have 11 different cards.

Hi Eric,

I know you've seen this Sub Rosa gallery, but thought I'd share with everyone. All but two are mine.

Best Regards and Happy Collecting

Hey Eric,

With respect to the N48 Dixies, when you say cards with numbers, do you mean numbers only and no position?

There appear to be several "types" of Dixies.

I have a number "4" with no position (see attached scan).

I have a "1st Base", a "Stealing Second", and a "Pitcher" all with no numbers (see attached scans).

I also have a "2" "The Pitcher" that is a lithograph like a Sub Rosa that is identical to a Sub Rosa except for "Dixie" in the square (see attached scan). It is a different pose than the "Pitcher" above. I've also seen "6" "Short Stop" and "7" "Catcher" in this version of a Dixie.

All of my Dixies have borders.

All of my Dixies are blank back.

Could you post some images of your Dixies?

I haven't yet had a chance to look through my Virginia Brights.

Best Regards,
Craig

I've gone through my Dixies, scans from Eric, and scans I've collected from the web (sorry, I didn't document where). There seem to be 4 types of N48 Dixie, plus a couple of oddballs. The following are confirmed from the scans:

N48 Dixie Confirmed

First Type: With Border, No Number, With Position
1st Base
3rd Base
Pitcher
Catcher
Short Stop
Stealing Second
The Batter

Second Type: With Border, With Number, No Position
1
2
4
5
8

Third Type: No Border, With Number, No Position
1
2
6
7

Fourth Type: Similar to N508 Sub Rosa
2 - The Pitcher
5 - Double Him Up!
6 - Short Stop
7 - Catcher
9 - The Champion Batter

Oddballs
Has Border, No Position, Possibly a "7"
Black Stocking Nine Cabinet

This jumps the checklist ahead by leaps and bounds. Finally there is something tangible for collectors to refer to if they want to go after the set. A great gift to Net54.
