Hello, I was wondering, if everyone on the board here could tell me the complete checklist for dummy hoy, that being cards that were made while he was still playing. I know he has old judge cards, but I always wondered what some of the others are. All of your help is always appreciated.

I don't know if these are all...

N172 Old Judge
N173 Old Judge cabinet
WG-1 Base Ball playing cards, #33 in the SCD

1973 Fleer Wildest Days and Plays, #8

As far as I know, there are 5 poses of him in the N172 set. They all seem relatively easy to find.

Here is what I have for him...


Hoy, William E. (Dummy)
1898 Cameo Pepsin Pin
1887/90 N172 (5)
1888/89 N173
1898 National Copper Plate?
1888 WG1
1889 E.R. Williams Game


I wouldn't exactly call his N172's easy to find, and I don't think anyone has seen the National Copper Plate of him, but he was included in an ad or something that prompted his inclusion in that checklist (I could be mistaken though).

He's also on a W601 premium of a minor league team. I forget which team. I believe the year was 1903. It was definitely Hoy's last year in organized ball. I'm still kicking myself for not buying it.

He was with Los Angeles of the PCL in the 1903 W601.

On team cards he is in several different 1886 Oshkosh, WI team cabinets (with Tommy McCarthy) and in the Washington Jos Hall cabinet
