Looking for n300 or n162 ad pieces, oddities, etc...

[barrysloate]

Hi Brian- I don't believe advertising posters for N162 or N300 exist. The regular issue cards are all that is out there.

Edited to add you can find N162 cut out of the Champions album, so I stand somewhat corrected.

Hi Barry,

Nice hearing from you. I think a cutout is about all I can realistically expect from the n162 set. Although I do know of an n162 or two that are missing color passes out there in people's collections.

As for the Mayos, I've never really seen any but thought maybe someone else had....

I did however pick up a blank backed ad piece from the n28 set last night...

A blank backed N28 can either be cut from an album, or from an advertising poster. There's probably a way to tell, based on the thickness or texture of the paper, but I'm not sure.

Here's a copy of the N28 poster. Maybe this will help you tell if a blank backed N28 is from a book or the poster.

Biting my tongue...

Edit: Okay, fantasy piece? Opinions? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:X:RTQ:US:1123

my interest is piqued! Sorry to squeeze in your bst page but just curious about the above? I have some ginter pieces amongst my stuff and would love to hear about it. No interest in jumping into anyone's transaction - only seeking information....

btw - that's some banner! Not my favorite as it lacks the sophistication of other examples of the genre but it's quite important and beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...........

Hello everyone new to this forum but I thought I might chime in since there is interest in my card. From what Heritage auctions and I came up with is that it is dated the same as the Goodwin champions N162. It is the same card stock but is hand cut from an advertising banner. I had my hands on the exact same Cap Anson and the back carried the same advertisement just a different section. Both were sold to me as a lot. Obviously cut from the same banner. The Cap sold immediately for what I paid for the pair to a private collector and Heritage put a pleasing estimated value on it after the fact. So a little sellers remorse as that went. The plan was to keep them together and auction in Chicago later this year but times got hard and the wife even harder and since the Anson did well I decided on a quick turn around on EBay with the "King". I have had some nice offers and input and I thank everyone for there interest I am confident this historic piece o baseball history will go to a good home. By the way so glad to be a voice in this forum now and look forward to hearing some great collecting stories.

Welcome. So disappointed that this card is already out of my range. I wish you well...you are going to love this forum!

I'm now the owner of the above N28 banner it was from the world famous Sloate collection.

Here's a better pic.



N28s cut from the banner will be much thinner than those cut from the N28 albums if that helps.

Good luck in your search.

Cheers,

John

Heritage couldn't figure out these were from the album?

Who did you deal with at Heritage that told you that these came from a banner not the album? Can you please share his or her name?

Also what kind of "pleasing estimated value" did they tell you?

[barrysloate]

Heritage is going to have to amend the text to reflect what these really are. Once they do that, bidders can determine their value.

Another interesting note. I asked the seller what he knew about the King Kelly cut-out card he was selling and how he came to own it. This was his response.

"I sell some cards through one of the last existing card shops in my area and there is a elderly gentleman that brings some vintage in from time to time. We became friendly and he showed me some of his private collection with time I was able to purchase my first card a Ruth strip in amazing condition but it came with a catch he would only sell me that card if I bought the Cobb from the same series in the same condition. From then on he let me pay with payments and I have gotten some amazing pieces like a small black and white hand tinted Ruth/ Gehrig tobacco that only one other has ever been seen at auction. Anyways these two he had (Anson/King) and I fell I love with them it took me 5 months to pay him for these so yes I am very surprised to hear that a similar card went for so little."

Meanwhile, here's the link to the completed ebay item for the card that he won last month.
