Good morning, I’m looking to try and find some historical information about the set listed in the description above.
I was able to find that there was a prior issued set in 1911 called the Pinkerton cabinets. Based on what I read, you would find coupons inside the Pinkerton tobacco companies packaging, and when you earned enough, you could exchange them for a player card of choice. As far as the 1913-15 set goes, the only information I was able to find was that there are three variances (blank back, scorecard back, and traditional postcard back) and that nobody really knows how many are truly in this set. I also read that Jefferson Burdick didn’t list this set in his catalog. I’m wondering if Pinkerton approached the postcards in a similar way as the cabinets; by exchanging coupons found in cigarette packages for a postcard. Would anyone have any further details about this set? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't know the answer but somewhere along the way they were given an ACC number of W530. Burdick didn't catalog them, as you stated. Here is a blank backed one..

Thanks Leon. I picked up the Mathewson at The National. They’re really cool.

I know that some were used as postcards, but were any actually issued with actual postcard backs?

I have never seen one. My guess is it's the same philosophy as the very seldom seen Pinkerton cards. I have only seen one with a postcard back, this one, yet they are classified as potentially having postcard backs when they were blank and used as a postcard.

I have had the blank backed and scorecard back. The Baker Leon Posted that was used as a postcard looks like the original Pinkerton T5 photo. Similar to the below image of Collins. I am also attaching a PSA Pinkerton blank back with W530 Pinkerton 1913-1915. Where that designation came from I dont know. On the PSA website the Cobb they show does not have the W530 designation but the Dooin I am posting does. It is also good to note that PSA listed the post card back as one of the 3 types of backs but of the 44 graded none have a post card back . It appears PSA lifted the information from the Standard Catalogue the also mentions three backs to the printed Pinkertons which came out 2 years after the photo series

The Pinkerton cards are on cardstock and have borders. Otherwise, they are the same poses.
