James H. O'Rourke relative needs help locating cards
 

Posted By: <b>Paul C.</b><p>Thanks to email correspondence with several board members I've been able to obtain several card scans of my great-great grandfather, James H. O'Rourke. My goal is to collect an image of every one of his individual and team cards, but I'm currently stumped on a few. I'm hoping the net54 community can help me locate a scan of the following cards:<br><br>1. N175 Gypsy Queen, Catch, hands chest high<br>2. N173 Throw, R/hand head high<br>3. N172 Bat at ready, looking at camera, &quot;3d B., New Yorks&quot; (as opposed to the more common 'N.Y.' ) <br><br>And maybe the most difficult of all, these three O'Rourke cards are listed in the SCBC:<br>4.
