Can anyone identify the card pictured?? OP says he also has Home Run Baker, Clark Griffith and Mathewson. Says cards measure 3 x 4.

I have no idea on this one.

Am wondering if I violated a Board rule by asking this question or posting a link to the EBay Board. It is the only post on the page w/out a reply.

I'm an infrequent poster but a long time Board reader & don't want to do wrong!

If so, please advise & delete.

Fred, I used to ask questions that no one had the answer to, and got few responses so, I started asking easier questions... I can't help you on that card. I agree from the other board that it might be 30's 40's though. But, that kinda stuff is way out of line with what I know about. regards


edit my guess to 50's\\

2nd edit to guess 1975

1975 TCMA worth about $1.00

Thanks RC.

Funny thing is, I figured it would be TOO EASY once anyone saw the pic, but maybe not!!

Now I'm more curious as to whence it came--or what it is!

Thanks Dan--

Can you direct me to which '75 set?

I went thru the SCD Bible & didn't see any w/ the copy "Old Time Ballplayers" at the top. Of course some of them aren't pictured.

Would like to pin it down!

I saw the post on eBay but couldnt answer it. If it is a TCMA it is one not listed in catalogs. TCMA does use the "Pct." on a couple of its 1970s era issues.

But I also did cut out everything post 1980 in my book.

I may be off on the year! Damnit I do make mistakes! The grading services should hire me! But I have that card here somewhere in my TCMA toilet paper.

I don't find it in any of the TCMA listings in the SCD.

The image is from the M101-2 set. Below is info from the Old Cardboard site.

Year(s) Published: 1909-13
ACC Designation: M101-2
Set Name: Sporting News Supplements
Card Size (inches): 8 x 10
Number of Cards in Set: 100
Est. Value (common; VG): $16

Set Summary

# Second major supplement series issued by The Sporting News
# Borderless eight-by-ten-inch images printed on heavy paper
# Vast majority of the M101-2 cards were blank-backed
# Promotion offered with $2 annual subscription

This card is from a modern issue reprinting the same pose. I'm not familiar enough with TCMA to know for sure if it is TCMA or someone else.

Here is my M101-2 of Cobb which has been matted and framed with an autograph from an index card.

This looks like a 1950's-60's card. I'm pretty sure I've seen a type of these or 2.
