1928 Yuengling
Hello,
Being a Pennsylvanian, a card collector, and a Yuengling drinker, I thought it would be cool to add one of these to my collection. I don’t usually buy graded cards, and was wondering how safe it is to buy these raw? Thanks in advance for any advice. Matt

Yuengling
As I'm sure you know, Yuengling is the oldest Brewery in America. During the Prohibition era (1920's), they stayed in business by producing Ice Cream.

At one point, I lived two towns over from the brewery. Never could acquire a taste for any of their beer and failed to understand its fairly widespread popularity. It's amazing that America's oldest brewery isn't in a more obvious location!
That area was a hotbed for ballplayers many years ago, not to mention its early place in football history. It's amazing how many players hail from so remote an area--even more remote over a century ago. Jack (Picus) Quinn was from Pottsville. Jake Daubert, although born in the same town as the Coveleskie boys, lived one town to the south. Joe Boley, two towns to the south. Gas House Gang member Chick Fullis was just to the west and Ron Northey two towns to the north. This is just a sampling, too. Last edited by BillyCoxDodgers3B; 08-15-2021 at 07:49 AM. |

I can't say for sure that I've seen counterfeits of these cards, but they are pretty simple cards and certainly wouldn't be too hard to fake convincingly. Remind me a great deal of Ruth and Gehrig fantasy cards that are faked extensively and sold all over eBay. If the card was important enough to me for sentimental reasons I'd probably buy a PSA 1 and have some comfort that I have a real one.
