[dgyshcc]

Just discovered a near full set of t227 (23 of 24). Low grade but pretty neat. Multiples of some cards.

That doesn't happen often!! Does it have a Cobby?

Although I do not have any T227s. Here's a couple of pictures of the package that they likely came in.

I does. I pulled the Baseball players out of the box my grandfather gave me years ago and didn't know about the other sports.
I recently dug through the rest of the cards and discovered the non baseball cards that went with them!

Hey Fellas!

Does anyone have a scan of the front of the following two cards that they could share? Hard to look for them if I don't know that they look like!!!

thanks for any help!

Looking for scans/photos of two cards from the set:

BRUCE BROWN

and

C.P. RODGERS

thanks!

Regarding the missing 25th card.....

The four baseball players in the set are Chief Bender, Rube Marquard, Frank Baker and Ty Cobb.

In 1911, Bender and Marquard let their respective leagues in win %. Cobb led the AL in batting average. Baker led the AL in homeruns. The NL homerun champion was Frank Schulte of the Cubs (not exactly a household name).

Here's where it gets interesting.

The NL batting champion in 1911 was none other than Honus Wagner. Could the missing 25th T227 card have been meant for him? It boggles the mind!!!!!
