According to Baseballreference.com, both Wauner (really Wanner) and Crandall did not join Memphis until 1910, which of course is consistent with the premise that these square cards are tied to 1909.

Not 'tied'. Such a card could be made this year, a century later.

It's a premise, Frank. Refute it.

A premise based on what?
All you can tell is that the card was made after a certain event. You can want it to be contemporaneous with the event, but that doesn't make it so. And you're fooling yourself, and others to insist that it is otherwise. |

Fair enough Frank. It's a postdated issue, possibly issued as an Upper Deck Commemorative issued circa a century later--I expect Willie Mays to be part of the set. Or its an Autosales release years after it acquired Colgans, because you want it to be. My only point about the Memphis players is that they played there in 1910, which is consistent with my prior posts. You're right, there's no premise. It's my theory, not premise, which theory you can shove up your ass.

Well at least you have some passion about these old cards. I admire that.

To all,
I hate to throw a monkey wrench into the dating party for this issue, but how do you explain the Harry Davis card with Cleveland, which was sold in the November 2009 Goodwin auction (Lot 251)? Davis played from about 1901 to 1911 with the A's, and then managed Cleveland in 1912, although he left that post with only about a fifth of the season remaining. Indeed, the only other player change in the set is Harry Lord (who can be found issued with Chicago and with Boston captions). Neither of these cards is currently checklisted in the SCD Standard Catalog. My recollection is that Lord switched teams in 1910, though I'm certain someone can check verify this date. Millerhouse |
