Any Police Gazette Supplement collectors out there?

Nice Matty rookie!!

There was one that sold recently on eBay w/o the Police Gazette on top. Went for well more than I expected.

I hope to own one some day as well.

I thought I would snag it for $1,500 (opening at $1k), but 2nd bid jumped to $4,050 a day before ending and it stayed there. It was perfect and framed beautifully. It was either once in Yeakley'a possession or the description had been stolen from an example on Amazon.

Apparently only a few examples exist w/o the supplement line at top.

Now I see it. Well, FWIW, I bought mine off eBay for $1.29 (shipping was $14 ) so I'm happy with what I paid for mine.

There were blank back Police Gazette Supplements and also same-style and full page size pictures printed in the magazine. The latter have page numbers at the top and text on back. I had the different kinds a while back and, while I assume the blank backs were the more valuable, had no trouble selling the magazine pages. They both look essentially the same graphics wise from the front.

I have 1 police gazette, the supplement is of a female equestrian, but the cover has Wagner at the end of his career.

Thanks for all of the great responses, guys. It's cool to see all of the great examples of this issue.

And Bob, thanks for the info. I'm guessing Gibson is not in the photo *because* it's so close to his debut, but I'm going to hold out hope until I see a scan. That he's not easily identifiable will help temper my expectations


Cheers,

Richard.

I have 87 different supplements, and dozens of full pages and covers with baseball content. Unfortunately, the 1905 Pittsburgh team is one of the ones I do not have. Want to sell me yours Bob?

I'm always looking for stuff that I don't have.

Here is my most recent PG pickup, from May 17, 1884 :
