Help with Satchel Paige & Cobb Premiums

[swarmee]

Not sure if the worthpoint page would have the seller's name if you log in. I don't have an account. But if you bought them from those auctions, you could send a message back to the seller, or check their current listings/account info and see where they live.
Or you might just have to wait around until more reveal themselves.

Hi John,
I honestly can't remember exactly when and where I got them. They either came from someone on Net54 or ebay.

Here's one side of the Jackie Robinson/Dick Wakefield, auto'd by Jackie.

The autographed Jackie sold for $850 in 2013.

I have a subscription. Worthpoint won't give you a seller name.
Both items sold on Feb. 17, 2014. The Cobb/Maranville sold for $69, the Paige/Newsome sold for $125.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the sale/date info.

That Jackie is sweet, what a deal! As far as the Paige goes, I'm going to consider it a rookie until I hear otherwise. Thanks for your help guys!

I believe these may be pages removed from a book by Powers, Baseball Personalities. The entire uncut book can acquired relatively easily. I do not currently have a copy, but you should be able to compare illustrations fairly easily.
The size, and double sided images are consistent, as is the dating.

Yep, looks like they are from that book, thanks for the research!

Here is a two sided example of Bob Feller / Jimmy Dykes

I had thought this was from an unknown set of picture-pack style cards, but have come to realize this is a cutout from the book Baseball Personalities by Jimmy Powers, 1949.

Special thanks to Net54 members for pointing this out.

Deleted.

Thank you for pointing this out. I edited my post to identify the Feller / Dykes item as a cutout from this book.
