SOME people might like to see some BASEBALL memorabilia

Mostly paper for now..... I know it takes a lot of work for people to access and scan their stuff....GIVE a little/take a little"-) I offer a bit with the hope that others might share. Even more than the attacks this stuff gets my blood pressure up. Presented in no particular order and without grouping by theme/rarity/or anything else other than they were close at hand. If I can help anyone in any way I'll be happy to try........... I have a fair amount of material and if the thread is well received I will post more.... well maybe.

What gets your blood pressure up more than personal attacks- paper memorabilia?

Just ribbing you, these are all wonderful and your Old Judge die cuts are in such nice condition. It looks like even the little delicate parts are still intact.

The Lorillard and the OJ) but the nomenclature changes as the people collecting this stuff change. The composites are IMHO some of the finest trade cards extant "all around" despite their lack of color and embellishment (Nation League Chew comes to mind as well as the Tobin series). I'd love to see a scan of the ones I'm missing in the OJ and REALLY love to see if anyone has the BLACK & WHITE Tobins........

I agree that the Lorillards are trade cards, but they are as close to a baseball card as a trade card could be. Today, the terms are almost interchangeable.

I must add:

One of the few Spaulding BB die cuts I have seen with the bat in tact (and not chipped off above the player's head)!

Here are a couple of Ty Cobb items. The trophy is from 1913, W.B. Jarvis, Sporting goods company that Cobb was part owner. Located on Woodward in Detroit Mi. and Lansing Mi. These Trophies were given to High Schools for different sporting events. Ty Cobb with his off the field hat on the front. I have never seen another, if someone has let me know. The other is a Ty Cobb Brand straw hat.

Ty Cobb, Spikes flying!

I wish I had a better picture. This is a old perfume bottle shaped like a bat. It still has a strong perfume smell.

Mr. Moses - Impressive items.

Here's 1 thats on my desk
a 1910's/20's postcard
Looks like the kids knew what they were doing!

Posted By: mr. moses

and I'll be looking for one for myself"-). Here's one that goes against the forum rules but I couldn't resist one last "illegal" post as isn't the EVOLUTION important to our overall understanding as well as the cards......? I've never seen an earlier reference to "collecting the cards" type of thing AND it's ON such a card (actually there are 2 cards in the set with such a reference but I can only put my hands on one right now - other says "Got any stamp cards mister?"). Both from a fairly common Duke insert set N85-Postage Stamps that capitalized on a newly emerging stamp collecting hobby.

"Give us that card mister!"



(edited to add that the man is holding a pack of Duke cigarettes and the issue dates to 1887-1889 or so. Sorry for the poor scan)

(edited because I didn't want to bump the thread unfairly and felt the need to add the following):
Obviously the lack of posts to this thread suggests that many people don't want this subject discussed here. I have no problem with that. I for one will make sure whatever I post from now on will be ON the topic of pre-WWII baseball cards until such time as something changes in that regard. I wish only the best to the people here.....

Jay- that's a fabulous postcard as it illustrates how popular the tobacco cards were among the kids of the day; and likewise, how they depended on the adults to give them the cards when they opened the packs. Thanks for sharing that!

[Archive]

Posted By: mr. moses

So the postcard which is more generic and only suggests a tobacco baseball card without actually saying what kind of card is being referenced; is more PC than an actual card that IS a non-sport card but by inference could be talking about a "Duke" issue such as the Presidential Heads series which IS a baseball card.......same as it could be talking about the stamp cards (or other issues). I guess that's why I rode the special bus and got extra time on tests.....

The lack of posting is no indication of lack of interest. far from it. I have an office filled with stuff...getting the time to scan, and also how should I scan odd ball items. Some I can't. I have a black marble award/trophy given to Connie Mack after his 29 and 30 world series win. It used to sit on his desk. Has a small clock attached to it. and two gold elephants. And I have no camera that I can hook up to my computer. Sterling award given to Gehrig, silver award given to Foxx. Cleats with Foxx's name engraved on them etc. etc. If I knew how to put them on here I would. But I do like seeing other peoples things.

Dave, That Cubs fan is among the coolest things I have seen. Is there anything you are after that I could offer in trade?

Henry:


This is a great post. Most people don't comment on posts of any kind. That doesn't mean your efforts are not appreciated.


The "Read The Sporting Life" trade card you show has the identical style printed advertistment at the bottom as the H804-8A card.


Here's a SL trade card I have:

I feel like I'm looking over my shoulder by posting something on memorabilia, but all I can say is it's neat to see this stuff.

I knew as soon as I saw that Cubby fan that Mike would start drooling. Pretty cool piece.

If you look at one of the other threads, it has become apparent that discussing pre-war memorabilia is frowned upon on this site. (I'm starting to know how the Black Sox felt <G>). As such, I would highly recommend to those who are interested in pre-war memorabilia go to a great site that a few of us on here go to. It's not as busy as this site, but it has a lot to offer.

It has a variety of topics, including game used modern stuff, but
I'm sure Mike H. and Dan will agree that this is a good place to post vintage memorabilia.

All you have to do is scroll down to the Vintage Memorabilia section and bypass the rest if a category doesn't interest you (or not, if you're into other topics. There's something in there for everyone and nobody seems to mind the other categories being there). There's some cool stuff on there now.

Hope to see some of the folks who haven't been there join in. I hope this makes the card people happy.

To stay on topic, all you have to do is to make sure there are some baseball cards in your photo

Max, is that a Silver trophy ball on top of your cabinet?

Here's a Ty Cobb Stall & Dean trophy.

Posted By: Dan Bretta

I'm sure there's a baseball card in here somewhere.

Hi Clint

Unfortunately, the silver ball is a modern creation.

excuse the ignorance. What does that mean 28 people watching? on board/on thread/sumptin else? Thanks....

moses

You seem like a smart man, I'm sure you could figure it out!

[Archive]

Posted By: mr. moses

things are not always what they seem I guess. I assume that means only 28 people that posted? laughing because no interest? honestly have no idea what you mean. Hope you're not just breaking my balls. My wife invented sarcasm and i'm oblivious to it. Is there a place for statistics of who or how many are logged on at any given time?

If it makes you feel better Henry I had no idea what he was talking about either and i've been here for 3 years.

Posted By: barrysloate

I'm clueless too. I have no idea what the 28 refers to either.

28. Wuh?

moses,

I don't think it's possible to break any balls here!

It's just this place is getting to me. I'm very close to saying "Sayonara"!

So, Nothing personal at all!

Posted By: Dan Bretta

Brad, are you going to let us in on the secret?

[Archive]

Posted By: greg

I know the answer to 28 !!!

But first, let me show you one of my baseball cards...




Actually, Bill looks more like one of my aunts than Bill Carrigan, but that's another story.

oh yeah...the 28

that's the number of million ESPN is reporting (or so my ears have heard while I was browsing the site, maybe I'm wrong) that NY signed "the rocket".

Oh happy day, he's not coming back to Boston. I could never have lived with myself if I ever had to cheer him on.

Edited to say this was not in a card thread so I hope nobody gets mad at me as I went a bit off topic. I hope you like my card.

REA is FAST!!! Got my Nebraska Indians cabinet today.

Posted By: Steve Murray

That is one ugly carpet.










































Oh, and, the Cabinet is very very nice. I wanted to bid but knew you would be too so I held off. I won the e107 Powers so I'm a happy camper.

P.S. Both of my parents were from Nebraska, my Mom from Albion and my Dad from St. Edward. Both graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1940.

Don't blame me for the rug...blame my wife. The worst part is she spent over $300 for that thing.

I wish I still had all my old University of Nebraska yearbooks I could look your folks up. Do you still have relatives here?

Oh and thanks for laying off the NI cabinet!

Mike and Dan especially give me innovation on how to model my home office. I'm sure it takes years.

Brad? Last he spoke he was kind of bummed out about something. Don't know what but Brad if you're out there we need you to:

1. Tell us what 28 is. (I think I'm right) and

2. Chime in on the Stengel Maple Crispette thread.
