Regarding my prior post, the current checklist for the 1914 T330-2 Piedmont Stamps set does not include the two variations for Roger Bresnahan that can also be found in the T205 set - specifically, the Mouth Closed and Mouth Open variations:



This would put the set at 119 total (vs. the catalogued 118).

Additionally, there are seven catalogued stamps for which I have never seen an image. Of these, it is very possible that a few do not actually exist:
  • Bill Dahlen - Dahlen was out of baseball by 1911, and the makers of this set were fairly diligent in making team updates and removing players who were no longer playing by 1913/1914. This stamp is very unlikely to exist, despite being catalogued.
    Clyde Engle - started out playing with Boston in 1914; moved to the Buffalo (Federal League) team mid-1914; T330-2 probably does exist, per checklists; I just haven't confirmed yet
    William "Wilbur" Good - w/ Chicago Cubs from 1911-1915; T330-2 is likely (and catalogued)
    Chief Meyers - w/ NY Giants from 1909-1915; T330-2 is likely (and catalogued)
    George Moriarty - w/ Detroit from 1909-1915; T330-2 is likely (and catalogued)
    Freddy Parent - out of baseball by 1911; T330-2 is unlikely to exist, but is catalogued
    Kaiser Wilhelm - out of baseball from 1911-1913; joined Baltimore of Federal League in 1914; T330-2 is unlikely to exist, but is catalogued and is possible

Using the T205 and T202 sets as potential candidates - I've ignored players who were in the T205 set but were out of the majors by 1913 - here is a list of players who could have possibly had a Piedmont Stamp produced (although none have yet been catalogued):
  • Lena Blackburne - was w/ Chicago White Sox in 1914 but was in Milwaukee (minor leagues) for all of 1913 and most of 1912 after not playing all of 1911; T330-2 unlikely, but possible
    Walt Dickson - unlikely - was in Federal League w/ Pittsburgh in 1914; he was with NY Giants in 1910 (for his T205 card) and played in Brooklyn from 1912-1913; T330-2 is possible
    Bob Harmon - 2 Ears Show - he has the left ear example in the stamps set, so this one is certainly possible; the set shows him playing for Pittsburgh - he played there from 1914 to 1918. His T205 shows him with the St. Louis squad.
    Fred Jacklitsch - was in minors from 1911-1913; played for Baltimore of Federal League starting in 1914; T330-2 is possible, but unlikely
    John Kling - out of majors after 1913; didn't play in 1914; T330-2 unlikely, but possible if this was not known ahead of time
    Frank Lange - out of majors after 1913; T330-2 unlikely, but possible
    Bris Lord - ended career with Boston Braves in 1913; T330-2 unlikely, but possible if unknown that he would no longer be playing
    Albert "Lefty Leifield - no longer with CHC after 1913 - didn't play in majors again until 1918; T330-2 is possible, but unlikely
    Charley O'Leary - final season was 1913 w/ St. Louis (after many seasons 1904-1912 w/ Detroit); T330-2 possible, but unlikely
    Orval Overall - out of baseball from 1911-1912; came back in 1913 but ineffective; out of baseball before 1914; T330-2 is possible, but unlikely
    Edward Phelps - played sparingly in 1913 for Brooklyn; out of baseball before 1914; T330-2 possible, but unlikely
    Jimmy Sheckard - no longer in baseball following 1913 (splitting time with Cardinals and Reds) after long career with Brooklyn and Chicago; T330-2 is possible, but unlikely
    Hack Simmons - minor leagues in 1913; w/ Baltimore of Federal League in 1914; T330-2 is possible, but unlikely
    John Titus - final season was 1913 with Brooklyn (decent stats); T330-2 is possible, but unlikely
    Doc White - final season was 1913 with Chicago White Sox; T330-2 is possible, but unlikely
    Harry Wolter - no longer with NYY after end of 1913; out of baseball from 1914 until 1917; T330-2 is possible, but unlikely

My guess, based on the evidence presented here, is that there won't be any more uncatalogued Piedmont Stamps that surface in the future (unless a Bob Harmon w/ 2 Ears Showing variation decides to make an appearance). I'd love to get images of the front and back for any of the seven stamps that I have yet to see. Please share 'em if you've got 'em.
