Default T204 Square Variations

Posted By: scott brockelman

while exceedingly rare, the ramly square frames are somewhat of an anomaly to many collectors, much like a type II e107, very rare and neat, but not heavily sought after, as most feel they are not needed to "complete" the set. actually only a select few are probably "chasing" this lot and will overpay regardless of actual value.

but wait, there's more !, sounds like a ginsu knife commercial!, this may well not be a "complete" square frame set as it is very likely 4 more cards come in this format, george howard(rumored to exist), tim murnane(murname), thomas jones and perhaps eddie collins(the least likely to exist). these all have one of the same characteristic's of the known variations, first name and/or intial's, also if you ever find a blank backed version of these players, that is secondary proof and thirdly the square frame format players are commonly found with the elusive TTT back. and murnane/murname & jones are more often than not found with the TTT backs.

the john anderson card that i initially purchased on ebay and have since resold, after picking up a nicer one, had all of these destinct characteristics.

happy hunting, and if anyone finds any of these elusive rarities, PLEASE offer them to me first for a handsome payout in cash money!

until a year ago when i bought the anderson square it was uncatalogued, as are the above, but i sincerely believe they exist.
