Sporting Life Trade Card
1 Attachment(s)
Hi-
I recently acquired the Read Sporting Life trade card scanned below and I was hoping someone might be able to post scans of any other trade cards that advertise baseball publications. From searching this forum I found a thread that said there were three different examples of the Sporting Life trade card. I'd like to see these as well as any other trade cards for baseball related periodicals. Also, when did Sporting Life start publishing? Thanks in advance, Alan Elefson aelefson@hotmail.com |
The Sporting Life trade cards often go under the rader, like other period trade cards, but they are tough. You don't see them in auction often. Below is an old image I have that includes a few.

Thanks David! I really appreciate the scan. I like the graphics on the other Sporting Life trade cards as well. I can also see that my example is missing the bottom advertisement. I also agree that these tend to fall below the radar. I find it odd that these are not more heavily colllected (especially considering their relatively cheap prices!).

Info on Sporting Life tradecards
The card is from the H804-8A set (8 in the set).
There is also another similar set H804-8B (8 in the set) (the 3rd card in top row in the group scan is part of this set). Another Sporting Life set is H804-29 and these are very tough to find. They are not as attractive and show brownies playing ball with Sporting Life advertising on front and back (4 known in the H804-29 set) info from Frank Keetz book |
