I don't have an opinion on Feller's RC. I'm just glad this post was made so I can post my 38 Auto Feller.

I agree that the 48B is not his rookie either...but for sake of posting the image, I own a signed one.

Wonder if there is a reason Feller didn't have any Play Ball cards.

Here's another early Bob Feller item.
1937 Cleveland Press Indians Album Cutout #18 Bob Feller The bottom text says, "This is the eighteenth in a series presenting autographed pictures of the Indians. Save them for your scrapbook." If you look closely, you can see the dotted line around the border showing that this newspaper item was meant to be cutout. Since I operate under a very expansive definition of what constitutes a "card," I get to count this cutout as the earliest Bob Feller card in my collection.

For some reason, your card (#288), which has the writing and cartoon drawings, sells for a premium when compared to its #264 counterpart. I've never understood why. I guess people automatically assume that it is the rarer card, because it has the higher number. Or, maybe people value the writing and cartoon drawings and place a premium on it. Believe it or not, card number 264 is actually the rarer one - at least according to population reports. It's been graded far fewer times than the 288 card. |

Not really a card.

Quote:
He said that if he had ever thrown a baseball at his dad's fence, like stated in the card. That "his father would have whooped him good" and would "never have had the chance to play pro ball". I'll never forget the experience. He was so hard of hearing but would still tell stories.

1938 Dixie Premium

Personally agree Jon -- as far as a rookie 'card' goes, for me it's the '37 OPC.
Besides that, I think they're really gorgeous as well. Hard to argue with the Goudey Premium wide pen, and to a slightly lesser degree the Exhibit. But it's all up for debate, for sure. 37001.jpg
