T205 SPs with Piedmont 42

[Leon]

In my very brief (relatively speaking) collecting of T205 I haven't really noticed that. That said, I am not focused on T205 backs like I used to be and they might be disproportionate. I was doing my current set in as many PB and HLC backs as possible but opted to go for the best fronts I can find, which meet my criteria. Collect what ya like, right?

No SP's should have Pied 42 backs. What cards are you referring too?

Not true.

I own an Ed Walsh PD 42, which is a short print.

I have a PSA 4 Kirb White Piedmont 42. I thought that card was also a short print. I know there's a couple levels of short prints, just can't find that file at the moment.

White, Scanlan, Walsh are not SP's. Just because someone 100 years ago said they were SP's doesn't mean they are. Information is easily available now. White, Scanlan, Walsh, ect, are found with 5 different backs and have many copies graded and known. They may be a bit tougher than say Titus or Beck but are readily available. These guys fall into the category of cards like McElveen, and Daubert. Just a toughy is all. The SP's in the set are the ML cards, Bresnahan Mouth Open, Joss, Raymond, Donohue, ect, ect. These cards are only found with 2-3 back, Pied 25, Hassan, and Cycle, and have less of a print run.

Would love to know the full list you speak of T205 GB. Every resource I've seen lists them as SP's. Did you create your own list? Not bashing your opinion but just curious. I've always personally thought there are way too many Scanlan's to be considered SP but never have heard anyone else agree.

I agree with Andrew.

Take for example Jake Daubert. He is a tough T205 to find (regardless of it's back). Now, I don't think this card was actually
"short-printed", or whatever.





But, I can tell you this for a fact: Jake Daubert is a tough card mainly due to the fact that Daubert has quite a "following" in the coal mining
region of Pennsylvania. He was born in Shamokin, PA and played semi-pro ball in Lykens, PA before playing for Brooklyn.

I set up at several BB card shows in Pennsylvania. I usually bring 10-15 Daubert cards to these shows (most of these cards are raw). These
cards are always sold by the end of the show. Therefore, in this case the Pop Reports regarding Daubert will be mis-leading.

Jake Daubert was a pretty darn good ballplayer with a .303 career BA. He was the NL batting Champion in 1913 (.350) and in 1914 (.329)

A very well liked and respected ballplayer of his era (1910 - 1924).
