Federal League Cards

[Archive]

Posted By: Matt

Hello,

Long time lurker here. I've really learned a lot these past few months reading everyone's posts.

Besides trying to complete a T206 set (about 25% complete now after a year) I am also attempting to collect all the cards issued for the Federal League.

I know that the Cracker Jack series E145, E106, T213, T216 and D303 all have cards of Federal League players. Are there any more I'm missing? Does anyone have a checklist?

Also does any one else collect Federal League memorabilia. I'm particularly interested in the Chicago Feds/Whales.

Thanks for your help.

I believe Cracker Jacks are the only issue that show players in Federal League uniforms. I did pick up a Chicago Whales tshirt today on ebay, does anyone know if anyone sells the caps?

Bruce-

Do you mean the Okkonen SABR book? I do have that.

Wow - you have a Victor ball - do you have any scans? I have been looking for one for a while.

I don't recall seeing one for sale for a long time

Bruce, I would love to see a photo of the Victor ball in the box....Never seen a box for that ball.

Here is a photo of a Federal League ball that sold in Lelands last year. IIRC it sold for about $6,000 and it was without the box.

I believe that Bob MCcann auctioned a Federal League Ball with box a few years ago. He also had a Victor bat called the Federal League Special. Here's my lone Fed League item.

Chicago's Federal League Park...

Now doesn't Federal League Park look well for its age today as Wrigley Field? I think so. We know that Wrigley and Fenway can't last forever... maybe they'll outlive me so I won't morn their passing.
