It's been two weeks since I made the initial post about the n172's. I bought the book and love it, found all my answers to my questions,

But, I'm still upset about the aggression I recieved,! I feel I was blindsided from members of the forum where others in the past have always been kind to me.

I thought one of the objectives of the forum was to answer questions and have collectors in kind answer them without the fear of ridicule or verbal aggression.

I also would thank those who were kind to me........

Gary, glad to see your enthusiasm, you have a nice start on McGuire. Jay (oldjudge) has helped many of us over the years, his objection stemmed from your passion declaration which fell short of researching a number of posts or the book you are now familiar with.

Deacon McGuire is an interesting player to collect. While you are complete at 4 different poses, he was issued and re-issued cards from 1887 to 1889 such that he has 17 different variations currently checklisted (may be others out there as well). Five of the listed variants will be tough including Gypsy Queens (Es), 1888 re-issues (Fa & Fb), and cabinet (G). Most of the other twelve are possible given enough time and patience (the 1887 long numbered cards (type A & B) and the 1889 (Fc) re-issues).

Here is the run-down on Deacon McGuire, I've highlighted in blue the variations you posted:

312-1 Hands on knees
- a. McGuire, C., Phila (B-0149-A)
- b. McGuire, Catcher, Philadelphia (B-0149-B)
312-2 R/hand on hip, L/arm at side
- a. McGuire, C., Phila (B-0150-A)
- b. McGuire, Catcher, Philadelphia (B-0150-B)
- c. J. McGuire, Catcher, Phil (Fa, Fb)
312-3 Catch, hands shoulder high
- a. McGuire, C., Phila (B-0151-A, B, Es, Fc)
- b. McGuire, Catcher, Philadelphia (B-0151-B)
- c. McGuire, C. Phila (G)
- d. McGuire, C., Torontos (Fc)
312-4 Strike, looking down at ball
- a. McGuire, C., Phila (B-0152-A, B, Es)
- b. McGuire, Catcher, Philadelphia (B-0152-B)

Hey, at least you know who is saying stuff. Go to other forums and you never know. Jay is just ornery sometimes as we all can be...He means no harm.. The forum is a mixture of society, no more and no less. With close to 10,000 members there are all kinds. Happy collecting and nice run of OJs.

Hey Gary, just roll your back and let it run off. Like Leon said, you get a full mix of it. About 90% will be glad to share whatever wealth of information they may have, about 9% like to take pot-shots for whatever reason and about 1% are just bat-sh*t crazy...and that’s when it gets really fun.
