WTB - Looking for Wilbur Cooper cards

[ZachS]

I'm looking to purchase Wilbur Cooper cards with this particular image:



I have an E120, W573, and V61 Neilson's type 2. Other sets that should have this image are V61 Neilson's Chocolate type 1 and W572. If you have any items with this image please let me know. If you know of other sets with this image please let me know.

Got a duplicate of the '22 Neilson Type 2 Cooper; LMK if interested.

My notes say that I have a W573 of Cooper (which should be the same as the E120 I think). It's buried away in a box somewhere. Let me know if you want me to go search for it.

[ZachS]

Dave, I'm definitely interested. If you can dig up the card I'd love to see scans. Thanks!

[DaveW]

Zach - if you just want to see a scan, there is a nice example on vintagecardprices.com

Just search for Wilbur Cooper cards

I guess I should make the original post more clear. I'm looking to purchase these cards. Are you interested in selling your W573, Dave?

From my post I can see how it would appear that I'm only looking for images. Sorry for the confusion.

[DaveW]

Ok Zack. I wasn't sure if you wanted the card or just a scan. Give me a few days to try to find it and see what sort of shape its in. I'd be willing to let you have it, but what's the back-story? Why are you interested in this particular image of Cooper? I'm always fascinated by why people do what they do.

[ZachS]

Well it's a few different reasons I guess.

- I picked up the same card with a Cafe Du Monde ad from Leon a while back (favorite card from my LA collection)
- Cooper put up some really good numbers for a guy not in the HOF
- I like how the same images were used across multiple sets. It's not just this Cooper image... I also have a few others. Sometimes I'll see a card with a front image that I already have but with a different back and I'll pick it up for no real reason other than I think it's interesting to have the same cards with different backs.

I guess the main reason is that I get sidetracked a lot. I have a few sets that I'm currently working on... but other than that I'm all over the place.

Bump. Still looking.
