Let's see some Bill O'Hara cards

[tedzan]

Bill O'Hara played only 2 years in the Major Leagues (1909 & 1910); nevertheless, he is well-known mainly due to his rare T206 St. Louis Cardinals variation card.

He returned to his hometown, Toronto, playing the outfield for the Maple Leafs of the International League (1910 - 1915). He batted for an average of .273 during
those 6 years with Toronto.

There aren't too many Bill O'Hara cards out there. Here's mine......and, how's about showing us your O'Hara cards.

If you are referring to the T-cards with "blue captions" issued during 1913 -1919 (T213-2, T213-3, T214, and T215-2....O'Hara was not printed in any of these sets.



The cost of this sharp-looking O'Hara card was very reasonable.....you could say the "A" is an abbreviation for affordable

Love the unibrow look on the C46, but is that the same guy as the Ramey and M116?

Nope. Orion and I were trading messages about this just a couple days ago. Here's a thread from over 10 years ago asking this very question:

Judson....The picture of O'Hara in Baseball-Reference.com is the same picture on O'Hara's T204 card. The picture on his C46 card appears to be some one else.

Hi Richard

I was typing away at my post during when you just posted; therefore, I missed your post.

So, we can conclude that the T204, M116, and Baseball-Reference.com depict Tom O'Hara. And, the C46 card depicts the correct image of Bill O'Hara.

Yeah, I think so. Or at least I have assumed that was the case since that thread.

That link to flickr doesn't actually show a photo for me, but maybe it works for others. I'm guessing/hoping/expecting (but most of all failing to remember if) that 1907 National League Composite shows Tom O'Hara.

Thanks Brendan!
That's even better than the composite.
