"The North American" - Supplement, Philadelphia Base Ball Club, May 13, 1906

[Leon]

A hobby friend, and local North Texas area resident, got some supplements and asked me about them. I am hoping some board members will know more than I as to scarcity and value. He got in a group of 4 Pro and 6 Minor league ones. I have my ideas but don't really follow these a lot. thanks..

Leon I have seen the white Sox supplement sell for around $70-$80. Sorry I don't know more but I hope this gives your friend a idea of the value

[doug.goodman]

I have the two already shown, and the two below, they have cost me between $20 and $50. I don't see them often, but sometimes scarcity equates to apathy in buyers.

I would be interested in any others that your friend may be interested in moving.

One more...

[Darner]

Hunt Auctions sold a Phillies supplement for $47 back in February. I'd be interested in both Philadelphia supplements if your friend wishes to part with them. Thanks.

As a Phillies collector, I have seen these before...as previously stated one sold recently for around $50...I would be interested in the Phillies one. Not all that rare though.

picked this up in March, haven't even scanned it yet. Hunts photo below, was $60 after fees and shipping. Would be interested in picking up others in the $50 price range when I'm in a buying drought, but its very low on my priority list.

It should be noted that there is a 1906 series and a 1909 series. Not sure if there are other years as I have not seen them. There is a significant difference between the 1906's and the 1909's. You can see the 1909's in the one that was posted from Mt. Carmel, while the first post has the 1906's.

Welcome to Net54.

Can you post a list of the ones you have?

Doug

Bumped because the May 30 and June 13 & 20 1909 issues just sold on ebay. I wasn't paying enough attention and only picked up two of them.

Previous to their listing on ebay I had assumed they existed, but did not know for sure.

I have updated the list in post #10.

Oops. They went unsold a few weeks prior and they didn’t receive any bids. I asked the seller if he’d sell them to me at the opening price but he chose to relist instead. This time they still went cheap but I saw that there were at least a few bidders and this is not my forte. Glad they went to a great home!!

In retrospect, I should have notified you about them on eBay. Soooo much going on it’s hard to keep up.

No worries Derek, I had previously asked the seller if they had any more of them and they said that they didn't.

A new one turned up on ebay and I expect to have it in my possession soon.

June 6, 1909 Williamsport
