e222s

Gil's posting of a bunch of these cards in the virtual set area got me thinking. These cards are rare enough that most people are happy with a type card. Imagine trying to put together a master set of all color and back variation.

Gil posted a bunch of color variations, but didn't post any backs. If memory serves me right there are at least 4 different backs.

Anyone know how many different colors there are for the front?

I do not know much about the set, but apparently back variations include both "A. W. H." and "A. W. A.", also noted: Fulton Press, Richmond Va. on some. There are typeset and border variations on the backs.

12 players have been identified to date. Guiheen, Hooker, McCauley, Revelle, Ryan and Shaugnessy appear in the t-206 set with the same image.

It's unusual to see such a small set with so many variations (color and back type).

Most type collectors would consider themselves very lucky to own just one; and I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that a E222 master set is virtually impossible.

Here, have a look, it's free !

Here are examples of the backs. As mentioned previously, Leon has the only known AWA back. If anyone has one of these, they are at the top of my want list and I will trade aggressively for it.
