Posted By: <b>jamie</b><p>this is an albumen i picked up recently<br /><br /><img src="http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/ferdinand/Poker1.jpg"><br /><br />shows 13 military men playing poker with a couple of early ball players looking on. im still doing research on the picture- i haven't been able to identify the 'a' (army maybe) on the uniform or the timeframe (between 1860-1890 is all i know)<br /><br /><img src="http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/ferdinand/Poker2.jpg"><br /><img src="http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/ferdinand/Poker3.jpg"><br /><img src="http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/ferdinand/Poker4.jpg"><br /><img src="http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/ferdinand/Poker5.jpg">

Posted By: <b>jamie</b><p>that's exactly what it measures... i'd like to learn a little more about the photo but i'll definitely let you know if i decide to move it.<br /><br />just curious, what kind of collection are you looking to build? it's an unusual theme you're going for

Posted By: <b>cmoking</b><p>Generally, I collect baseball cards, with a sprinking of football cards in there. I also collect poker chips, but not nearly with the same intensity (basically I just pick up chips when I go to different casinos around the country). Recently I picked up an interesting 19th centuray tobacco card that was neat:<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6240151113" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6240151113</a><br /><br />I also have a 1933 Indian Gum Wild Bill PSA 8 card - that's Bill Hickock who was shot dead holding Aces and 8s, thus the name "dead man's hand". And a couple of poker chips that has Babe Ruth on them from the Las Vegas Club.<br /><br />So with these two items, I figured it would be fun to look around for gambling stuff...but even more fun if they are related in some way to baseball. Thus connecting my two interests.
