T332 Helmar stamps-- dates and T205 images
I don’t collect T332 Helmar stamps but in doing some preliminary research into a related topic I see where they were issued in 1912, or at least some of them based on team affiliations. My guess is they were issued over both years 1911-12, but was hoping others could chime in. Hope that doesn't mess up anyone's rookie card collection, although I see it could impact Max Carey's first "card".
My interest was piqued by a recent inquiry into the T205 set which advertises “400 designs” and whether/what other subjects were contemplated beyond the number actually issued. Because the Helmar stamps use the same images as T205 I wonder if the artwork for those players was going to be used in subsequent T205 offerings that never got off the ground, possibly due to the anti-trust litigation that broke up the ATC in 1911.
Anyone have thoughts on this?
