Default The Saints Poster :

[/QUOTE]


...I've been working on ( actually "picking away at") the other poster from this collection of two , the one with the 19 Millers but here's a view of the Saints poster---the lower right hole is where Larry Rosenthal (batting ) goes back into when he's all cleaned up.......these are positioned onto the back of the large posterboard so that the white borders are not visible but they're all complete ; old brittle kid's construction paper tape is holding them in place... I'll send a list of names in the order of the cards' positions this weekend sometime...

Default Some inquiries

Hi all,

In response to PMs from folks about specific players-

Andrews and Gibson I have not confirmed in Worch, but there are a lot of MLB players, mostly commons, hiding in the bushes. Like some other issues, because you could request the players you wanted, stars and HOFers are seen a lot more than commons.

And I am sure for those chasing the set it keeps it a lot of fun. Great looking Dizzy card above, don't see too many of those, nor many of the others either.

Just checking but does anyone have a picture of Roy Spencer's Worch? Always been curious if he's listed Cleveland or not

Hi Jack,
I don't have a image of Spencer; Mike G. may have one, since he seems to have at least as many Worches as I do-

"Gene Trow" and "Bill McWilliams"...in the slow process of cleaning off eighty years of grime ; they were exposed to the atmosphere but fortunately not to sunlight ; still crisp and a lot of gloss remaining...the attribution reads "Photo By Saint Paul Daily News" ; the "Saint" is completely spelled out ; on some others they used the abbreviation "St.".....

Default the Saints poster

Hi Mike,
So do I understand you correctly that these are full-size cards that look like they were collected separately and then fitted into the poster (as opposed to a poster from which individuals were cut)?

...they are very well-done home-made posters -- nineteen Millers and twenty Saints , both "1935"

..cards are intact....


...possibly some new vars. and even new confirmations of your rumored names..

..no Gibson or Crabtree or Spencer or Andrews though...

I actually believe those posters were issued by Worch.

They were found in St. Paul, the same city where Worch operated.

Mike, do you agree that it seemed to have been a Worch issue? It makes sense to me. I know one person I spoke to sees it as more of a Saint Paul team issue of 1935. I would like to get all the names from the poster, which I still don't have. I can get about half, which I'm about to do-

Tim

Interesting find this weekend. I already posted the signed Larry Rosenthal card earlier in this thread. I found this second one on Saturday. I didn't realize there were two different Rosenthals in the set. A pretty nice surprise

Hi Mike,
Yes, I think you're right that the Simmons is a newly seen variation.

Not many worches at the national, with a couple of exceptions I can tell you more about soon...

Keep us in suspense, huh? I think the variations and minutia are cool too but you guys take it to another level on this series. I do love some of the Worch poses. Good stuff!!

Thanks very much for this thread! Solved a mystery for me. This card has been kicking around our collection for quite some time and I couldn't figure out what on earth it was until now:

Indeed, it is. I'll try and post a pic later this evening. Can't find another of this particular card anywhere online. Did spot the other variation without the box around the text.

Some better shots of my card. Some scratches on the upper right side there but looks pretty darn good other than that:

Also, I just realized the card says "Boston AL" but he's clearly wearing a St. Louis Browns uniform.

Well, he's back from SGC. Looks great but must say I was surprised to see so much daylight between the gasket and the card:

Sharp looking card Andrew. I thought SGC puts them in a Mylar Sleeve and then the holder? Is the plastic holder acid free? I'm not to famerial with the kind of holders they use.

Great pick up, Tim. Keen eye. I agree that ebay still has hidden treasures every now and then. My only current Worch is still here in post 97. I might have to pick up a few more in the future.

Default Grimeses

Hi "Mike,"
I know, I wondered whether the Burleigh Grimes might be a phantom thread from the Berley in the AA set - especially since no one has actually produced a Burleigh for inspection. But Burleigh was still pitching in 33, so we can't rule it out.

Here is a card that came in a lot of Burke postcards. It looks like a Worch to me. It wasn't shown in the lot on Ebay, so it was a bit of a surprise to receive it.

I have never seen a photo of this player to compare to but I am guessing this is "Berley" Grimes for the 1935 St Paul Saints...

Hey gang!
I scored the Hugh Critz I was looking for... Many thanks!
Now, I'm looking for a 1933 Worch Cigar Buddy Myer... Anybody have one? Looking for lower grade (i.e. less expensive), but will entertain anything...
Thanks in advance!
