Elberfeld despite everything that has been done to this card, it still has nice corners.

Still searching for the other half.

I'll put some, "E91A" spin to it.
Since I don't have enough $$$ to go for the E107 of each; meet the RC"s for the rest of us, lol. https://www.net54baseball.com/pictur...ictureid=30247 https://www.net54baseball.com/pictur...ictureid=33039 Ben "I love baseball history backstory; especially when it involves cards." |

This is my worst tobacco card. A T210 Coyle, Ft Worth that most of the card is paper thin.

Love this thread. If bored, please include what you think the selling price of a t206 Wagner in the same condition would sell for…

I don't have a picture of him alone, but ol' Mordecai has seen better days.
(For that matter, so have Mel and Satch. The Ott card was cut in half, and then somebody glued it back together again.) |

Not prewar but this is one of my favorite Hank Aaron cards.

Here's mine. I wouldn't trade or sell it for anything. Sure, there's other Fred Snodgrass t205's out there, but this one appealed to me. Somehow, it survived.

A headless Heinie Wagner, shortstop of Beantown Hollow.
Brian (An E125 American Caramel, in case the set designation escapes your head) |
I looked in two different boxes and can't find it, so am losing motivation to find for a picture. But it's a '34 Goudey Hugh Critz. Just picture that card as beat up as some of the other things you've seen here and you have it. Multiple creases. Corners destroyed. The back with paper loss to where it's barely legible. I think the small picture of Lou Gehrig at the bottom displays better than the picture of Critz, so hey - that's a win for me.
|
There is just something about a 1 of ? Mickey Cochrane, the old Hooker of Lynchburg, and a headless Heinie Wagner that appeals to me. Something about the stories they could tell. "Patina". It's the same with my old, wood tube radios that, incidentally, all still work. Not much to listen to on AM, but there is still stuff on short-wave.

One of my best beaters is an old Lionel Carter card too. I'll never part with it either. I may upgrade it for my set, but I won't part with it if I do. . |
It's good to see that sometimes even Lionel Carter had to take what he could find in some issues.

Might be rough but completed my set . Coincidently swapped 2 other beaters for this one. Thought it was fitting to mention due to the thread topic.

I got this one, and several other with similar, less life-threatening wounds, from Net54 member Paul S (who sadly hasn't posted in some time now), and he got them from the famous/infamous dealer Goody Goldfadden in the 1960's (if I remember correctly).
In my opinion, the midsection is one of the least important areas of the body to be depicted on a baseball card. Brian |

Nice cards, guys!
