Good research. Scratch a number of Novelty Cutlery PCs off the RC list.

Good, solid stuff, Kevin. It's always enjoyable to read research based on facts instead of theories.

Any clues why there aren't many Novelty Cutlery cards (relative to other postcard issues from the era) found postally used?

Thank you for posting.

Rob,

I think that any postcards that were issued as part of a "set" were often collected that way - people collected them just like baseball cards and saved them as such.

From my experience, postcards issued in sets (Rose postcards, Novelty Cutlery, Sporting Life Team Composites, etc.) are generally found postally unused.

Just my opinion.

I know it would have been really hard for me to write on one of those great looking postcards and send it off through the mail.

Probably not if you could buy a stack for a nickel apiece.

Craig,

In 1979, the Sports Collectors Bible dated the PC805 Novelty Cutlery cards to 1907, which is kind of weird because they dated the PC796 Sepia series at circa 1910. The sets use the exact same images, so I would assume that they were issued the same year.

The 1982 "Beckett" Baseball Memorabila Price Guide has both sets listed as being from 1910.

The first edition of Krause's Standard Catalog did not include the set. I am not sure when they added it, but in the most recent edition they have the Novelty Cutlery cards as being from 1907-09 and the PC796 cards being from 1910.

I assume that Krause took the information from the Sports Collectors Bible. Not sure why they preferred that dating over Beckett's.

That's what I was thinking. Kevin thanks for the informative post.
