Andy and Jeff, here is the story on the Thorpe cards, which I've been chasing for about a decade [damn, I'm getting old]:

There were at least three and possibly four strip cards made from the same art [I can confirm the existence of three but the 4th is likely]:

1. A large set sized roughly the same as a contemporary baseball card [possibly issued in vertical strips of 3 like a W517];

2. A strip set sold in vertical strips of ten;

3. A narrower strip set issued attached to a "tab" which may have been a redemption device; and

4. A monochromatic issue with a plain background, also issued in vertical strips, that is slightly shorter than the "normal" issue.

Above is the Exhibit Thorpe side by side with two of the four types of strip cards made with the same art, the large strip card (middle) and the tab-sized, left [tab missing]. The "normal" small card is the same height as the tab sized but is a bit wider, and the monochromatic issue is shorter. Here is the Thorpe with tab intact [BTW, I am chasing one of these, so if anyone has one for sale, I'm your huckleberry]

A companion card you may want to hunt for is this card of cowboy actor William Desmond. The Indian chief on the left is Jim Thorpe. The other Indian in the image went by the stage name "Chief Thunderbird" (real name Richard Davis Thunderbird). The card helps narrow down the issue date. Thorpe, Thunderbird and Desmond appeared together in the 1931 film "Battling With Buffalo Bill.

Why was this one so tough?
Blew my budget "Just had to have it"

Finally able to pick up a couple of cards....Ed W., many thanks to you (always a pleasure dealing with you :))..

Owens
 

One more- maybe Johnny, Chris, or someone else could give their opinion on this. The back seems to have a shadow image of Owens on the back-I won't go as far as to call it a "ghost image", but it looks more like a wet sheet transfer of maybe the black/brown? Under a loupe there are black and brown spots of ink in the shaded area. Thanks again Ed W.-

Waddell Lincoln PC
 

Hey Jeff P.

Yeah, the Waddell Lincoln PC is from the lot on eBay sold by Dean's Cards. They were nice enough to break up the lot so I could get the Waddell. Not sure if the other pcs are still available.

Peter

Adam.

Thanks for insight on the Thorpe cards. I had no idea there were actually 4 versions of the strip. That's awesome.

This is third baseman MILLER of the 1889 Minneaspolis MILLERS, from the MILLER studio of Minneaspolis.
My second from this particular team and studio. Have a third one that I'll post after I scan it.

Finally scanned it, 3 of 3 Minn Millers. 19th century.

Joe,

Fantastic stuff !!!

Wow Joe, very cool.

Nice EPDGs Erick, haven't heard of anyone finishing the subset.

It's Miller Time!

Sorry...

Will SGC tell me that this one also is NOT missing red ink?

Great card.

I can't answer your question Eri@k, but I can tell you who ran the price up on that T206 for you! :o

And you seemed like such a nice guy when we met at the national :o

Hopefully I can twist their arms... And then maybe my Gilbert can get slabbed too.

Great Miller's Joe!

Finally able to get the last E98 color variation of Chance.

I'll post these since they all arrived this month.

That painting leaves me speechless. You can actually see the curvature on every bat. Amazing!

I couldn't agree more with Barry, very nice Brian. Love the Ju-Ju as well.
Great pickups.

Thank You, Nick, Dan and Elliott (Waite Hoyt delivery. Upper right picture is out of sequence):

Beautiful - its like DeJa Vu all over again!

Just received my fourth of this set.

Greg Kindler's painting leave no detail unturned and nothing left to the imagination, except......how the hell does he do that!

Magnificent!

I've decided to spend my fantasy winnings on some new cards. I wanna pace myself with it though. These will be my trophies. First pickup with the winnings so-far. A nice trimmed to sh!t Zach Wheat rookie. The manner of trimming makes ZERO sense to me whatsoever. But it made it very affordable, so who am I to complain...It'll fit perfectly with the rest of my beaters

David

Cool looking beater in its own way.

The mail man dropped off a couple of new additions today...

1921 E253 Oxford Confectionary

Love those Oxfords.

Thanks, Jeff. I personally think it's a neat set with some great star power.

Thank You, Zach:
(wacky scanner!)

...

Nice 649 backs, you going for the subset?

Signed T206's
 

Many thanks Paul! Was happy to add my first signed T206's to the collection.

Thanks wazoo!
 

Nice trade with wazoo yielded another EPDG...

Miscuts back from SGC (and one ebay find)
 

Lennox-Clancy and a few others; the Evers was in a PSA slab:

In the 300s!!!!!
 

These two make 300 and 301! I wouldn't mind downgrading from Sovereign to Piedmonts for these at some point, but for now they will do!

Congrats Erick!! Two great cards and you are now almost 60% of the way home. I just picked up my 100th a few weeks ago.

Erick, Congrats on hitting 301, sweet Chase card, if/when you do find a Piedmont downgrade, I would appreciate a shot at picking up the leftover :D

Thank You, Quan and Thank You, Dan:

Enjoy my friend!

Sweet cards Erick & congrats on breaking the 300 mark !!!!!

Sincerely, Clayton

Brian, those are great cards. What are the series with the white writing and staple marks? I don't believe I've seen them before. Great images.

Jason,

The examples are from the 1934 Newton Annis Furs issued by the Tigers. I believe I also have a Del Baker from the set. Here is an archived link concerning a poster in relation to the set:
