Player Collectors - 8x10 O'Connell Ink Prints

http://www.fritschcards.com/sunshop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=884

Fritsch has a pretty decent supply of these 8x10 O'Connell prints. These have not been watercolored, so they are just black and white. Fritsch implies in another listing that they acquired the remaining stock of O'Connell sets, so I'm guessing these are ones that simply never got ordered. These very well might be rarer than the colored ones. I will add scans of my purchases later this afternoon. Here is the list from the Fritsch site...some prints have sold out:

Looks like the Sandberg is no longer available.

Here are my scans. The actual size on these is 8.5 x 11, and they are on a thin stock similar to the O'Connell & Son standard size cards.





Here is the only painted Carew I have ever seen (squint really hard):

Any chance you bought a couple of Puckett's?

Had a bunch of these at one time, but now I'm down to only this one compete with watercolor:

Sorry, no spare Pucketts.

No Rickey listed either

I have to wonder if there are really 500 of these floating around for each player because they are rarely seen.

I got this response from Fritsch when inquiring about a checklist:

Unfortunately we do not have a checklist and as far as I know there isn't
one that exists. We bought the remaining stock from the artist and he did
not have an overall checklist, we had to catalog them and create a list
ourselves so whatever is listed there is all we have and all that we know
exists.
