Default T229 Kopec Harley Davidson

Posted By: Tom

I acquired a card some 10 years back froma SCD auction. It is a card from the T229 Kopec series. The person depicted on the card is named "Harley Davidson". Obviously, there was never anyone of that name associated with the company, as the company was an amalgum of two peoples last names. However, this person did capitalize on the nmame at a very early period in their history. On the card front, he is listed as a champion roller skater as well as being a champion motor cycle rider "having won highest honors in races held at Savannah Georgia in both 1909 and 1920".

Is there a catalogue that has a list of cards from this set? From what I understand, this may very well be a one of a kind card. I am open to offers, but the intriguing prospect of it being a "crossover" collectible for Harley collectors makes me hesitant.

Any thoughts on this card and its place in the set would be greatly appreciated.
