I bought the E104 below through a Hunt's auction 3 or 4 years ago. It's changed hands since then - I last saw it in one of the 19thCenturyOnly auctions, I think. Looks like Swift was to E104's as Gilliam Squires was to Obaks. |

I hope that one day some of these stamps reveal something about the issue. |

is that a baseball fan named "Swift" decided to use his E102 collection as address cards - inexpensive and kind of novel. |

This one just looks like a collector's stamp. Like the Gilliam Squires cards, about all it tells us is that at one time it was owned by someone named 'Swift'. |

Even if Swift was just a collector, it could still reveal something about the issue. For example, I'd like to know if there was a good deal of e104s in a certain region of the country. |

Do all of your business cards have a similar look and feel to one another? He might very well have consumed other products that had different cards enclosed, but maybe he decided to keep those "un-stamped" and dump all the E104's as business cards. It's also possible that the other cards in his collection already had ads stamped on the back (if he was even a collector - perhaps he was just a consumer of the product). |

Just because the set celebrates the champion A's doesn't mean it was issued in Philly or Tip-Top D322s and e90-2s in Pittsburg, does it?.<br />I guess tip tops were from pitt. Were e90-2s from Pitt? |

Bill, E-90-3 cards were DEFINITELY marketed in Northern California, along with the other two types of E90's. I've been personally involved with several "Outside the hobby" finds in the last 30 plus years of digging in Northern Cal. One of the first questions I ask sellers is where the cards came from. If they are from the same family that originally collected the cards, I inquire further as to their family history. Several years ago, longtime Chicago based hobbyist Don Steinbach visited me & we discussed the E90-3 cards. Don recalled his largest find of those cards turned up in Northern California when he & Pat Quinn used to do buying trips in this region back in the late 70's. In addition several other major league sets were marketed in Northern California prior to the 30's, including Gypsy Queens, Kimballs, Colgans Chips, American Caramel- E-120, 121,125, Exhibits, Goudeys. Even local companies marketed major league sets including Cardinet Candy in Oakland (Texas Tommy), Henry Johnson in Alameda (E-121 style), and Collins McCarthy of San Francisco (E-135) The West Coast market was primarily interested in players that they could relate to on a daily basis (I.e. Pacific Coast League players) but the region was far from ignored as far as major league issues were concerned |

One of the advantageous of being a SABR member is access to GeritageQuest which has online records of many years of the US Census, 1910 included. The youngest male Swift I could find in Philly or NYC was an Ira Swift who was 16 and lived in Ward 16 of Manhattan NYC. Not sure where ward 16 is/was. Would be interesting if it included 23rd St. Ira was a message boy and his father was a tailor in a department store. |

As I recall, both teams did train in the SoCal area early in the 20th Century. I know for a fact that once Wrigley bought the Cubs, they trained on Santa Catalina Island off the LA coast (Wrigley owned the island too). There are some nice PCs of the Cubs training on the island. I want to say that the Sox trained in the Palm Springs area, but I may be off on that one. |

I think the 16th ward in Brooklyn is a diferent entity from the 16th ward in Manhattan. |
