The 1914 T222 Fatima set includes 52 baseball players, 4 athletes, and 7 known photoplay (movie) stars. Most cards show a small number in the lower left corner near their name, as shown on the attached Wally Schang. This handwritten number can be black, white, or grey, and takes close inspection to verify, since most online scans fail to show enough fine detail.
Anyone use an existing checklist for on-card numbers? It's such a scarce set that few complete versions exist, so checking across multiple collections should give us more confidence. From my own work so far, each group includes four cards. NNO baseball (4 : Burns, Chalmers, Marquard, Perdue) #2 - 9 baseball (4 each) #10 track and field athletes (4, rare) #11 Pathé photoplay stars (4, rare) #12 - 15 baseball (4 each, rare) NNO Pathé / Universal photoplay stars (4 each, assuming another Universal card is found, rare) It's likely one more unnumbered Universal photoplay star exists, since that "completes" them at four. Pathé's four photoplay stars appear to be the sole group printed with and without numbers, implying (at least) two print runs. Before I spent more hours squinting at scans, any other checklist already accepted for these numbers?
