As a type collector I am fortunate to have the requisite one of each....I definitely put the first year ones (1912) as the most difficult to find, followed by the 1914s, then the 1913s. That's just my seat of the pants observations. I think the only thing that holds them back on being collected is their higher values than most other pre-war cards. Even commons are quite expensive relative to most other series

Thanks for showing those pics Leon, those are gorgeous cards indeed and I rarely even get to see pics. Those are up there in beauty near N162!

The 1912 Mathewson. That people would pay more for others just says how dumb they are.
The 1912 is a unique issue in the hobby, in large part due the unusual graphics. Last edited by drc; 02-27-2012 at 11:19 AM. |

A few years back a non-collector emailed me with nice scans of his 1912 Boston Garters, including a panel. He said they came from his uncle or similar relation (I can't remember) who had been a traveling salesman in Texas way back when. He was't interested in selling, just though I might like to see them and he wanted to know more about them.

Thanks Leon & Craig for posting those images- awesome. Leon- am I reading it right on that flip? The Herzog is 1913 but (maybe it's my computer) it looks like it says 1914?
Thanks to everyone who posted.....video was classic. ![]() These cards are also way out of my league but I seem to like the things I can't afford ![]() And after looking at the accordian pannel and that Rucker of Leon's I can see why the 1912's are the most desired. Thanks again- Sincerely, Clayton |

I know the 1912 are by far the nicest looking but the 1914 Cobb is one of his best cards. No matter who owns that panel it's always fun to see it posted.

I didn't really go into it but I think the Garters are now considered 1912 for the suitcase variety and 1914 for the other two types, regardless of what flips say on them. Personally I like the 1912s the best too but they are all great looking.

I'm going to go with the 1912 suitcase version and the other two types I'll figure are 1914 ![]() Corey- I do not have an image of the Johnson but he is on the checklist- I'd love to see an image myself. Sincerely, Clayton |
