Q&A

Today's question comes from a visitor to my website that signed himself "Confused."

Q:

"I have a  "Barry, Philadelphia" card that looks like the t205, but has Hassan on back and John J. Barry with a white border, not the gold. What the heck is this card?"

(I have cards like that as well. Here are some examples.)

A:

Your card is a T202 end panel that has been cut away from the rest of the card. Here's a page explaining the T202 set. Their value is greatly impacted since they're no longer whole, but they offer a great way for collectors to pick up 100-year old cards for relatively little money.
