Of Demmitt & O'Hara......St. Louis Variations.

[bbcard1]

Just a guess, but I am thinking is high...I would think more like 300 of each. I would be interested in everyones take on this...based soley on observations, I think the Dahlen Brooklyn is very nearly as tough as the Ohara and Demmitt variations...maybe as tough.

I'll post my thoughts from the other thread to hopefully add to the discussion here.

Both Demmitt and O'Hara moved to St. Louis in late 1909. This was before any of the print group 2 (350 Only) subjects went into production. This means all of their New York cards were printed after they were already playing in St. Louis.

Both cards team designation changed prior to the last printing they were used for which was Polar Bear. This printing was more than likely in the late summer to early fall of 1910. I do not believe that either were printed anymore or any less than other Polar Bear subjects from print group 2.

I think you're right that the Dahlen Brooklyn variation is nearly as tough, but it's not as tough. If I were to give you an estimate, I would say there are 10 Dahlen Brooklyns for every 7 Demmitt or O'Hara's.

Your point is well made, the Dahlen (Brooklyn) is very tough. Is it as tough as the either the Demmitt or O'hara variations, in my opinion .. Yes & No.

This Dahlen with the PIEDMONT or SWEET CAP backs is not. If you are looking for the OLD MILL version, it is very close. And, if you are looking for
the SOVEREIGN card of Dahlen, trust me it is tougher. This card was one of the last cards I acquired to complete my all-SOVEREIGN set.

First off, great Carter cards wtg.

The t213-2 version has 50-70 examples extant, at most. I agree with Ted's figures on PB backs at 3 to 5 hundred. This is not a rare card imo

For the purposes of this T213... DO NOT SOAK T213-2 They will fade into below Aut land.
