Wide Pen Type - 2 or 4?
1 Attachment(s)
Don't know much about Wide Pens, but this Vosmik portrait is not on the Type 1 Checklist, and have only found it as a Type 3 (without a border). Assume it is a Type 2 or 4?
Does anyone have a link to Checklists for the 5 types? Thanks. Attachment 308663 |
Looks like a type 2.
Tim Newcomb, a board member, wrote a comprehensive review of the Wide Pen series in two consecutive Old Cardboard issues a number of years ago. If you like the Wide Pen series, I highly recommend you try and get those issues. |
I think its an 1936 Goudey R322 (http://www.oldcardboard.com/r/r322/r322gal.asp), not 1936 Goudey Wide Pen R314. Check out the link, I could be wrong. Nice card!

Thanks for the replies.
Definitely not an R322 (1936 Goudey). Those cards are square, with a game text on the back. This is blank, save for the name stamp of a former owner. Will look for the Old Cardboard piece. Surprised that I couldn't find a similar image online. |
Type 5 is only Canadian players, I believe. Don't have a checklist handy but since Type 4s have creamy borders, I'm guessing yours is a 2. Those have white borders and that's what it looks like from your scan.

Definitely not the creamy borders - must be Type 2, though I have only seen the "Batting" and "Kneeling" versions from that series. Not sure why Joe rated three separate poses in a 25 card series.
Appreciate the clarification. |

Seems like a master R314 checklist broken down by type would be beneficial. |
No problem. Just had a chance to check my Standard Catalog and, yes, it is Type 2. Vosmik is listed as having a portrait there.
