Nice Triple Crowns everyone. It is nice that these three sets have completely different images for a player, unlike, for example, the E90/E92/E101/E102/E105 etc. pool of shared images.

Here is another Tobacco trio, this time featuring Beals Becker. In the previous Triple Crown of Leifield the T206 I showed is the favorite image from the 3 sets. In this one of Becker the T207 is the king in my eyes.

Big John "Larry" McLean, at 6-feet-5 inches and nearly 230 pounds, was a huge character. You'll find his SABR write-up quite interesting, check it out.....

Great idea for a thread!
I’m going to hit the scanner soon and post my Triple Crowns!
Oddly I don’t have as many T206 as I do T207.
I made up for it with a couple sets of T205.
Looking forward to seeing more posts in this thread!

Thanks Brian...the more the merrier!

I was contacted by John S. about Cy Barger being in all three sets, so I have updated the original post. Now there are 71 players that have 3 crowns on their head.

Germany Schaefer

Herman A. "Germany" Schaefer. Infielder for the Washington Senators in 1909-1914. 972 hits, 9 home runs, and 201 stolen bases in 15 MLB seasons. His "steal" of first base prompted rule making it illegal.

Schaefer was popular as a baseball "trickster" and "on-field clown", often in tandem with Charley O'Leary and, later, with Nick Altrock. Altrock eventually perfected the art with Al Schacht.

My question is why did they make him look like Buster Keaton in the brown background card. :-)

Here is Tommy Leach...I think the artists in all 3 sets captured the look in his eyes.

Fun thread! Not the great scans, but my minimal contribution until a better one comes along. I'd pay altered/authentic prices for the Auth T205 like this one all day long.

[brianp-beme]

Nice cards...keep your tobacco crowns tripling in. Here is George Mullin. He had one heck of a year in 1909.

Is it just me or does WaJo look like a Ghost in his T207? Good Halloween card!
