McGraw.  A group of other baseball notables (Joe DiMaggio, Tommy Henrich, Miller Huggins, Frank 'Home Run' Baker, and Bob Meusel) were featured in photos on cachets but without any specific reference to them in the cachets.  And lastly, Crosby's cachets illustrated the National Baseball Museum and Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.</div> <bR> <div> There are at least 10 distinct styles of cachets used by Crosby on this issue, with many variations as to format, text, color, and envelopes.  A general view of the cachets is illustrated below with the specifics found on the following pages.  </div> <bR> <div> Next question is how to organize the listings.  While for most issues, the Planty Catalog organized the listings by cachet type, a different approach was taken for the Baseball issue. Those are organized primarily by the alphabetical listing of the names of the individuals featured in the photos which appear on the cachets.  For example, all the Ty Cobb cachets can be found by looking at P# 21, the Byron Johnson cachets at P#22, the Walter Johnson cachets at P#23, etc. (Before getting into the alphabetical listings, Planty first illustrates cachets for the Hall of Fame, the "First" baseball, and for Abner Doubleday and the field named after him located on the Hall of Fame grounds.)  While that is an efficient way to list the cachets, Planty did not then take the next logical step of organizing the cachets within each main number in a definitive pattern.  For example, the plaque type cachet (see the second image below) appears as type "c" for Ty Cobb, but type "e" for Walter Johnson and  type "f" for Christy Mathewson.  </div> <bR> <div> After considering the various alternatives, I have decided to go with the alphabetical listing for the overall organization of the cachets, but have organized the individual cachets in a common manner.  Thus, the plaque design shown below will be listed as type "B" in all listings.  Because all design types do not appear for all of the listings, I have prepared a chart below the cachet images on this page which indicates which types exist and which do not.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Special thanks to Eldon Mohler who has
