I picked up a Titus this week that also happens to be my first Cycle back which I am excited about. I seem to recall reading that this is the only player in the white border set that has a mustache. If that is true I find it an interesting contrast to many OJ's and other 19th century cards in which many players sported mustaches that would have rivaled even Rollie Fingers.

So show me your mustache cards.

If anyone has insight into early 20th century American culture I would be interested in knowing what happened to the facial hair. Was it a just shift in men's style, or did the availability of more modern razors just make it easier to keep clean shaven?

True about 19th vs (early) 20th century facial hair....not as much in the early 1900's....

I think my upgrade to Firefox has done something to my computer - I can't see half the photos on this site anymore and some links don't work, but I'm noticing others are not having this problem because they're commenting on things I can't see.

Dan,

I'm having the same problem, but am pretty sure it's the residual fallout from the Photobucket hacking a few days ago. Some people's Photobucket accounts are back up, others (like myself) are not.

Mustaches must have been all the rage in the 1880's. I'm afraid Titus might have been out date with current fashion trends.

Regarding the T206 Titus--the poor guy must have buckled under peer pressure, because by the time the T205's were issued his card shows him clean shaven.

Another possibility is that the T206 artists utilized an earlier photo of him, just like you can see many of the Carl Horner photos from the turn of the century that were used to produce the images seen in many of the 1910 era sets.

Prior to Lincoln, no President had ever had any kind of facial hair. There was a 50-60 year period after his death where it was in vogue in the United States. The gas masks of WWI pretty much put an end to wearing a beard.

Took a while to dig out Piano Legs Gore....




In 1880, for the Cubs, Gore lead the National League in hitting with a .360 average. Earned him the cover of the Spalding Guide the following year. And I suspect he did not know that his 1880 On Base % of .399 and Slugging average of .463 were also tops. Gore played with Cap Anson and King Kelly that year, the Cubs finished in 1st place.

Gore is depicted on this card with mustache when he played with the New York Giants of the NL. He was also with the Giants of the Players League in 1890, and ended his career with 20 games for the National League St Louis Browns at the end of the 1892 season.

I could be a bit off on this, but didn't some teams ban facial hair at that time? Heck, I can recall as recent as the Reds under Marge Schott banning it.

Ooops, sorry, we're in the middle of a thunderstorm here and for some reason it sent two of the same message when I pressed "post".
