Does anyone know of a definitive list of cover subjects for Tip Top Weekly from 1896 thru 1915?

Thanx,
Doug

I think they made hundreds and hundreds. I have not ever seen a full list. I have about 150 with baseball related covers that I will sell for a very good price if anyone is interested? regards

Leon, do you happen to have #473?

There is one from the 03 baseball team subset I could never find. I think the team is the Cubs.

What is the story with this piece?

Leon - I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see a list of which issues you have.

Dan - I don't have #473, is that the Nebraska Indians cover?


Here is my list of baseball cover TTWs. If anyone can add to this list it would be much appreciated.

Doug- that's a great list and I've never seen the magazine checklisted before. It should be put in the Net54 archives.

Doug, you are correct.



Have you gone through Stanford University's collection?

I will look throug them tonight and post a list. I have had emails about them and am wanting to sell them soon. I know I paid way too much but I am only looking to get fair market value for them. This is one of those learning lessons ....that I don't really care for. The older I get the more the lessons cost....regards

Dan - Thanx for that link. I may have to use that info as a starting point to cataloging the entire run.

A copy of issue #473 was on ebay a few days ago.

Due to the Nebraska content I kind of figured that you were bidding and I avoided it.

Yeah...I won that one. I haven't received it yet. What's odd to me though is the title of the story is "Frank Merriwell's Challengers or The Hot Game With The Nebraska Indians" but on Google books the title is "Frank Merriwell's Challengers or Foiling The Plotters". http://tinyurl.com/4xcu74 I'm wondering if there were two stories in Tip Top with the Nebraska Indians??? I guess I'll find out when the I get it in the mail.

Thanks for that hard work Doug...this thread should be archived.

I've always thought that the Tip Top Weekly's were very underrated as a baseball collectible. The covers are fantastic and the stories very entertaining...especially the blend of fact with fiction.

Just got my Tip Top in the mail and it's a beauty!!! It is the same story that also appears in a Burt Standish Frank Merriwell book under a different name...."Frank Merriwell's Challengers or Foiling the Plotters" - I am still looking for that book if anyone ever comes across one.

Hi-
I am sorry about bumping this old thread but I recently purchased 15 Tip Top Weekly magazines (most with baseball covers) and I can add the following numbers to your checklist of baseball covers: 277, 278, 281, and 541. There is a chance that 547 is also a baseball cover (I wrote it down as such) but I did not scan it and cannot confirm it as I have already sold the lot (Bigfish, a fellow Net54er, has them now). Below are the scans for 277, 278, 281, and 541.

Alan,

#547 is a baseball related cover. I have read them front to back. Great magazines. Thanks Toby

Now seems like as good a time as any to explore Tip Top Weekly, again.

This is a list of baseball covers that I know of, as of Dec 24, 2010. Of the 986 issues of Tip Top Weekly and New Tip Top Weekly between April 18, 1896 and March 6, 1915 I have seen the covers of 693 issues, 178 portray baseball. There are 293 issues that I have yet to see, but I have reason to believe that 71 of those are not baseball related.

If anybody has any baseball issues NOT on this list, please let me know. Also, if anybody has any sort of list of TTW covers, I would love to see it to compare to mine.

My current list of baseball related covers:

Here we go with another post in my exploration of Tip Top Weekly baseball covers...

This is a list of baseball covers that I know of, as of June 2, 2011. Of the 986 issues of Tip Top Weekly and New Tip Top Weekly between April 18, 1896 and March 6, 1915 I have seen the covers of 701 issues, 183 portray baseball. There are 285 issues that I have yet to see, but I have reason to believe that 71 of those are not baseball related.

If anybody has any baseball issues NOT on this list, please let me know. Also, if anybody has any sort of list of TTW covers, I would love to see it to compare to mine.

Here we go with a nearly nine year bump of my exploration of Tip Top Weekly baseball covers...

This is a list of baseball covers that I know of, as of April 19 2020. Of the 986 issues of Tip Top Weekly and New Tip Top Weekly between April 18, 1896 and March 6, 1915 I have info on the covers for all but 39 issues. 188 portray baseball.

If anybody has any baseball issues NOT on this list, please let me know. Also, if anybody has any sort of list of TTW covers, I would love to see it to compare to mine.

My current list of baseball related covers:
