Deacon White

[Joe_G.]

Ah yes, Deacon White, one of my favorites! He can be a tough card if you want a photographic example, easier if you expand to Buchner or Scrapps.

I consider Deacon White's cards (excluding team cards) as follows (in chronological order):

- Tomlinson Cabinets (April 1886) - Portrait & Action Pose
- N284 Buchner Gold Coin (1887)
- Fearnaught's Studio Proofs for Goodwin & Co. (April 1888) - Nine poses (all nine poses known as studio proofs have a matching N172)
- N172 Old Judge Fb (1888) - Nine poses
- N173 Old Judge Cabinet (1888) - One pose (w/ Detroit)
- Y95 Scrapps (H. D. Smith & Co.) (believed to be early-to-mid 1888)
- WG1 Playing Card (1888)
- N172 Old Judge Fc (1889) - two poses re-issued w/ Pittsburgh
- N173 Old Judge Cabinet (1889) - One pose (w/ Pittsburgh)

You see a lot of Old Judge cards from 1888 and 1889 but they are tough, many with fewer than 5 known.

Here is the most valuable Deacon White card (one of two copies known, not in my collection, same card Mike mentioned above):
