V89 William Paterson set likely issued in 1924, not 1922 or 1923...show what you got!

Show them if you got them.

Brian,

All good. Thank you for the attribution.

A few I, sadly, used to own

Mr. Dour and Mr. Grin, may they reunite once again.

This may support the later than 1922 theory on the set. Here is a photo circa 1924 offered on eBay by Rhys at prewarsports and the V89 Bancroft I picked up. If nothing else, the pictures were taken moments apart:

Nice photo Brian...looks like they airbrushed out the extra wire and the above the grandstand supports as well.

I think the player on the left first tied his shoes, as seen on card, then picked up a bat, as seen in the photo. But perhaps he was one of those illogical 'pick up a bat and then try to tie the shoes' type of people.

I thought this was a worthy thread to resurrect, and feel free to add thoughts about the revisionist 1924 dating for this great set, and of course card images.

Here is my Adolfo Luque. Luque was with the Reds starting in 1918. But 1923 was his big year. 10.7 WAR, 27-8 .771, 1.93 ERA, with 6 shutouts. All stats listed led the league.
