Patrick McMenemySince I haven't made any progress collecting 1912 Home Run Kisses for the past few years, I have decided to focus on collecting catcher pose cards in the 1912 zeenut set.
I have been able to pick up six(6) so far: Otto Auer, Drummond Brown, Barney Burch, Harry Cheek, William "Hap" Hogan, and "Howling" Dan Howley.
I have also seen scans of four(4)other catcher poses cards of: Claude Berry, Mickey Lalonge, Carl Mitze, and Hugh Smith.
I know that two(2) catchers are found in batting stances: Walter Schmidt and John Tiedeman.
I have kept a library of scans for the 1912 zeenut set for a few years, so I have eliminated quite a few players from the list that aren't in a catcher's pose. However, I still haven't seen a few dozen cards in the set.
How many more catcher pose cards are there in the set?
Other catchers in the set, which I haven't seen cards of include: Brooks (LA) and August Fisher.
I have also seen a card of Doane (Portland), and I'm not sure he has a catcher's mitt or a first baseman's glove?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you have any scans please post.
Thanks,
Patrick
