This was posted by a board member in a thread on the old forum. I don't remember who posted it but I give him all the credit, I thought it was so great I had to save it.

If it was Elkins who posted it then maybe I'll retract the credit for it.

{Leon has to surely ban all these people posting those nasty cards on the wrong forum ;) )
Joe I do have a beautiful copy of Busting Em; it was unfortunatley bound into library binding about 1920, and never opened again. The book without dust jacket is "not uncommon", but my quest will continue to find a copy with a dust jacket. As with a number of early 20th century books, dust jackets are exceedingly rare. Max |
Good luck Max, I have not seen the dustcover.

I've only seen one. It was auctioned by Mastro I believe (or perhaps Barry) when Steve Cummings' baseball book and ephemera collection was sold Max |
Max
Please inform Jeff he's banned :). I don't think he will listen to me anymore after our bickering yesterday.

Love this Cobb Item - how about you?
Measure approx 21": |
That's a great pennant!!
|
Ditto on the pennant! Insanely rare, and unheard of in that nice condition. By far my favorite item in this great thread!

Here's my pennant contribution...
This is without a doubt, a Ty Cobb Pennant from the early teens. Note the Tiger's striking facial resemblance with the cocky grin, and his split-handed grip on the bat. One of my very favorites. Wish I could post a larger picture, but lately the system is severely limiting the file size (so I'm having to cut them way down). Anybody know why/when this started? |
The resemblance is there, but isn't the Tiger on the pennant batting right-handed?
|
Good catch... influenced by Cobb, or "in the manner of Cobb" then? Not sure the artist paid close enough attention, or if this righty pose just worked better for the pennant.

International News of Cobb.
Based on the stamping on reverse and Henry Yee's work, this was either printed from 1910-1920 or reprinted in 1920-1921. The stamp difference is in the font, and it's too difficult for me to tell. The scan is poor - I had to copy the original from the auction house database. The clarity amazes me - love this one. |
Great image Jacksons

I just wrote a blog about the t206 Cobb with the Cobb back which ended in the recent Goodwin auction, and included a neat YouTube video of Cobb.

Nice blog but the mention of the T206 museum killed it for me. Great blog just not great people. |
