Default E90-1.....and the "Dirty Thirty" theory

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Based on my (anecdotal) experience collecting the E90-1 set and additional cards from this set, here is my take.......

DONLIN....Many say he this card is tough. However, he could not have been in the last (tough) series issued in 1910.
Turkey Mike suspended his BB career at the end of 1908 and returned to BB in 1911.

WAGNER....I have not found his Throwing pose as tough as the "usual suspects" in the last series. I would guess that
this Wagner card was issued in the 1909 series of 30 cards (semi-tough).

Here are my candidates from your list.....

Bliss
Gibson (back view)
Hartzell (batting)
Overall
Tenney


And, one you didn't mention....Demmitt
