Default 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

The cards are nice B&W photos and are shared across several different sets, Yuengling's, Harrington's, Tharp's, and Sweetman's. Haven't really seen them counterfeited, but if you're going for a lower condition, raw common you should be safe as it wouldn't be worth it for someone to counterfeit a card like that. Just pay attention to whom you are buying from, and try to stay with a reputable dealer. If looking Ebay, be sure to check seller feedback.

Default 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.

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.

Besides the Yuengling's, Harrington's, Tharp's, and Sweetman's Sets, there was also a set made for Greiner's Bread.

These cards are impossibly rare, but as far as I know, no one knows why!

It was a missed opportunity on a near set MANY years ago that led me to a conversation with the Late, Great Bob Lemke and our own Great Leon Luckey. This led to my introduction to NET54...

Anyway, if ANYONE has ANY info on the Greiner's set - I'm ALL EARS!

Here are two of the VERY FEW that I know to exist...

GREAT THREAD!

Default Cousin of York

The Yuengling cards are cousins of the 1927-28 York Caramel cards too , lest ye non-York collectors forget.

I’m probably going to acquire a few more of these Beer/ Ice Cream cards.
Great cards of the era.

Sweetman’s and Greiner’s are far harder to find.
I think Harrington may be the easier of the similar brands.
Yuengling next, then Tharp’s.
The 1928 York are tough while the 1927 aren’t really.

No scans on this phone, or I’d be glad to share examples. (I need to get my scans loaded into a Cloud or something)

A couple of years ago, my wife and I took a factory tour of the Yuengling's facility at Pottsville, PA. After the tour, I asked our guide about the Yuengling's baseball cards produced in 1928 when Yuengling's was making ice cream during Prohibition. The guide knew of the ice cream production, but was totally unaware of the baseball cards.

The OP may be interested to know that the Yuengling cards have two different back narratives. Here's an example of each for Sam Rice:

Seeking very scarce/rare cards for my Sam Rice master collection, e.g., E210 York Caramel Type 2 (upgrade), 1931 W502, W504 (upgrade), W572 sepia, W573, W575-1 E. S. Rice version, 1922 Haffner's Bread, 1922 Keating Candy, 1922 Witmor Candy Type 2 (vertical back), 1926 Sports Co. of Am. with ad & blank backs. Also T216 Kotton "NGO" card of Hugh Jennings. Also 1917 Merchants Bakery & Weil Baking cards of WaJo.
