Show a card with a tack hole in it

[Jobu]

I got this recently and am surprised by how little the hole in the card bothers me. In fact, I find it kind of cool that a 105 years ago a kid liked this card enough that he wanted to put it on his wall so that he could look at it every day.

Let's see your cards that a kid decided to hang on his wall like artwork.

[Brian Van Horn]

OK. I survived the first one.

[Jay Wolt]

Here's a Cobb Turkey Red that I once had in my set.
I didn't mind the tack hole as it had a half moon effect above Ty's head
and I thought if the hole wasn't there the card would have been graded higher & thus out of my budget

[edjs]

A couple of Pinkertons, one REALLY shows a lot of love!

[triwak]

I got these two severely trimmed and tack-holed HOFers from completely different sources, and have always believed that they probably came from the same collection, 120 years ago. I like that.

T3s with tack holes are some of the best values around, IMO.

Agreed!

[pete zouras]

I first mistook the pinhole over his right shoulder to be the moon.

+1. First thing I thought when I saw this thread.

...sometimes a pinhole is the least of a card's problems...

[aquarius31]

Most of my T3's have at least one tack hole among other issues

[mrmopar]

My best tack hole card.

[asphaltman]

Love these - thanks to Tim

[Rookiemonster]

The Duke of Flatbush . His nicest card IMO .

[drumback]

Another turkey.

[Bigdaddy]

One above the NY on his hat, the other one in the 'O' in 'YORK' at the bottom

[HRBAKER]

[aljurgela]

Pop Lloyd - fantastic image and a couple of small pin holes

[MikeGarcia]

...the fountain-pen signature makes up for the hole...

[HRBAKER]

....yes it does - beautiful

I want your WAJO !!!! I would easily look passed the tactics mark as well. A great card Bryan.

[sandmountainslim]

Ganzel has one

[kkkkandp]

I have a similar card of Jimmy Ryan. The hole really does not detract much at all from the presentation.

[Jobu]

Thanks Josh - I will give you a shout if I need to move it.

Edited to add: Thanks to everyone who has posted so far, this is fun. Let's keep 'em comin'.

I really like this thread and wondering where all of the examples hung and the stories behind them.
I wonder if Kevin C.'s OJ got the "Authentic" based just on the pin hole alone.

It should not have (the Ryan card I mentioned has a number grade), but who knows? The card appears to be otherwise perfectly fine (size and back).

Nice card, tack hole or not.

Maybe a little more than a tack hole

Pinhole never bothered me when I owned this one.

[rsn1661]

This doesn't compare age wise with most of the cards that have been posted, but it appears to have taken 2 tacks to hold this one to the wall

[MVSNYC]

My first 3 T206's, from about 1991. I still have them.

Would not have bothered me either. Great card.

What about this?

[RTK]

Great thread. I'd love to know the stories behind all these cards and the kids that originally owned them. A guy I work with tacked a '90 something Sandberg to my bulletin board. When I first saw it I remember thinking, boy if that was a mid 60's card from when I was a kid, I'd be bummed out having a hole in a Sandberg card.

I would love to know the story behind the Magie I have. I imagine a boy with that card tacked to the wall or bulletin board in his bedroom. Was he a Phillies fan? Was Magee his favorite player? Did he know that his name was mispelled back in ~1909, but it was unknown in the hobby until the 70s?

[h2oya311]

not a very nice place to put a tack-hole!

[MikeGarcia]

....the pin-hole and uneven hand-cut edges probably saved me a few dollars but this version hardly ever becomes available anymore . I reckon Mantle is hot and hoarded.

[Bpm0014]

On sleeve.

[brianp-beme]

Tack hole, Schmack hole. How about a shotgun blast hole? Got this and several other similar E90-1 cards a couple years back from a net54'er (hi Paul) who picked them up in the 60's from hobby legend Goodie Goldfadden.

Another favorite, this time a tough to see stapling (not the print dot near his eye).

Hi Guys:

Here is a set that the cards ONLY come with staple holes!

Dad's Cookies Cards were issued by stapling them onto a bag of cookies.

You would think TPG's would take this into consideration when grading them, but they will only ever be graded as Authentic or a "1"

Just picked up a few if anyone is interested in getting one for their team, player or type collections.

Anyone have the "coloured" album they reference on the reverse?
