Great stuff everyone, Bruce amazing cards.

WOW, those Delahanty and Anson cards make a fabulous 19th Century collection all by themselves........

[triwak]

What Phil said. That Delahanty is AMAZING!!!

[Fred]

[wonkaticket]

I saw the Ewing/Mascot in a magazine when I was 9 and I said I had to get that card. Only took me about 20 years to finally get it and it's not going anywhere. When I found out there was a Williamson/Mascot card too it took me about 3 days to get it because I found out about it when it was listed on ebay and had to have it.

That Alexander Cartwright is awesome. And that Delahanty too. Those were my favorite two. Beautiful cards everyone. Thanks for starting this thread - always like taking these guys out to look at....

Thanks Peter. Those 173s are awesome!! Probably my favorite regular issue from any era.

So many great cards here, what an enjoyable thread.
Here are my two other vintage supplement displays -- I don't know when they were put together, but I've had them since the 1960s.

[wonkaticket]

Wow those are great displays!

[bcbgcbrcb]

Two more fantastic pieces, Greg!

This is what I hoped to see in this thread some awesome rarities. Peck and Snyder, N284, N184, rare old judges, 1870s cards, I am sitting at my computer with a piece of drool coming out. This thread now made me want a N284 O'Rourke hands on thighs.

I hope the pics keep coming!

were the OJ's made before the ZOOM feature on cameras?

The first zoom lens was invented in 1902 and patented at the same time by Clile C. Allen, so back in 1886-1890 there was no zoom used

Here's the N172 Williamson and Ewing with mascot cards as well as a Warren Studios CDV of early star Cal McVey.

[brianp-beme]

Incredible cards everyone, and plenty I have never seen before. Some of these are as foreign to me as the shiny new stuff. I have hundreds of Pre-WW2 cards, but only have these five 19th century examples in my collection, and I think they are pretty neat, flaws and all.

Scan's a little fuzzy but this is a 1898 Spalding Baseball Guide of the 1897 Louisville Club with Honus Wagner:

Furthermore, during the past 26 years (thanks Barry Sloate for the 42 - N162's you sold me in 1985), I have put together another 2.5 sets of these
in the process of Up-Grading this set. So, why do I need a Grading Co. doing what I have already done ?

Those are some mighty nice Old Judges, Ken. Especially like the Pud Galvin, that's one of the tougher ones to come by.

[dstudeba]

Love the N175 Conner Brian!!

[Wahoowa]

Lots of nice cards but this Chickering has to be my favorite. Amazing!

Great CDV. Love it

[Joe_G.]

Some fantastic cards, I had no idea Kenny had so many nice cards (nice McCormick & Radbourn). Always like hearing updates on the crazy Corcoran collection. Nice cards all.

Here are a couple Tomlinson cabinets I haven't shown before (at least not that I recall). Lady Baldwin, Hardy Richardson, and Larry Twitchell.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Beauties, Joe.

Love the Ewing, Jim!

[zljones]

Wow thanks for showing an N167 example Jim. And seems undergraded in my opinion.

Sorry for the small pictures...I guess I should have learned how to enlarge the pictures before I posted.

The first is a Old Judge King Kelly and the second is a Kalamazoo Bats George Wood.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Nice Kelly, Mike.

Thanks Joe for that phrasing, I'm not crazy I just wanted to collect Old Judge cards of every player who played for the 1877 Livingston team that played out of the League Alliance and I got tired of waiting for the other guys to show up so I'm buying Corcoran cards while I wait for cards of Calder,Fell,Wilbur, etc

I have plenty of other 19th century cards I can post with getting insulted by my good friend Joe. Here's one of the nicest looking Player's League card I've ever seen(as Joe could tell you, they are known for their poor photo quality) and somehow I have it.

Interesting story,I've seen the negative for this photo and it shows more to the point you can see he is actually holding a shovel, not a bat and Goodwin labeled this the "Fend off Corcoran crowd" pose. Number 274-7b if you have the OJ checklist at home

[ValKehl]

FANTASTIC cards, everyone!! Here's my N403 Yum Yum Tobacco type card. What I would truly love to see is a N370 Lone Jack Cigarettes card - hopefully, someone will post one!
Val

[E93]

Val,
Nice Yum Yum!

Very nice collection, Michael!

[Cooper1927]

...Old Judge Card! I picked it up this past weekend at a card show in Arlington, TX.

Gorgeous OJ of a tougher than average HOFer. Well done Jerry.

[ghostmarcelle]

That OJ Nichols is freaking killer!

[triwak]

No doubt!!!
