George "Rube" Foster ephemera
 
Question, other than the Boston Am T200, is there any other ephemera of this pitcher? The big book does list a 1917 Holsum Bread card, but I believe that's Eddie Foster. Any help would be appreciated thanks

Rube Foster appears in the E270 Colgan's Chip tin tops set. I had one many years ago, but traded it to Bill Haber, whose Colgan's went to Larry Fritsch after Bill died. Would love to get it back.

Not sure about the Zeenut but isn't the Colgan Ed Foster? It's so strange how some players have so many types of ephemera and some have very little or none even if they are world series winners.

Ed Foster never played for Boston, but it certainly looks like his picture on the Colgan's E270 Tin Top. Not that it matters to someone trying to find images of George (Rube) Foster, but I believe the card was intended to represent George.
