1911 Gilmartin Printing PCL card

I had waited a long time to find one of these. I think they might be more scarce than E221, E222 and almost any other PCL card...Anyone else have any to show? Funny how a printing company didn't do a better job however they are neat in a simple sort of way. Not for the condition sensitive but, as a type collector, there aren't too many chances at them. Ya' snag one when ya' can..

edited typo and to add I think I have only seen about 2-3 of these for sale in the last 12-13 yrs....

How many MLB alumni appear in this set? Can anybody provide a list of names? I'd love to see any of these.

Very nice leon. The only other example I have seen was a Miller that is owned by the preeminant PCL collector.

I agree that it is tougher than those other two sets.

You know it's a tough card when Leon upgrades to a half dollar.

If you care to share, did you snag it off Ebay? If so, was the listing title vague or inaccurate? Lots of bidding action?

According the Standard Catalog, the known checklist for this set is:
Claude Berry
Frank Browning
Willard Meikle
Frank Miller
Harry Sutor
Tom Tennant

... some guy named Geo. Weaver

Andrew, Leon's card was from the last Mastro auction.

You are quite correct. It did come from the last (and now the really last) Mastro Auction. I am interested in speaking with the underbidder of this card too....or if you bid on it at all??? It seems like there was some pretty stiff competition very late in the game. best regards

Leon, I was in the mix for a while but wasn't the first underbidder (I can't remember where exactly I bailed out).

Leon, I heard the underbidder is a legendary collector. Woops, I mean legendary.

I bid, but was not the underbidder.
