I always get these confused.... R and S it is.....when looking at backs it's very easy to tell the Mayo ones as they say that on them.... |

Ah, I had a few of these years ago and never knew what they were. In 1981 I traded them for some shiny stuff as I recall, although it may have been some Brooklyn Dodger cards. Longtime mystery solved! |

These entries from Old Cardboard seem to indicate that R&S diecuts are 50% more valuable than the Mayo. The "cards" are similar but it seems to me that R&S pop up more frequently for sale. I know there is a limited market for these, but whats the consensus on which is rarer and is the rarity what would determine value on these? Also is 30 to 45 dollars each realistic? |

Mayo game pieces are much more rare and more valuable. Artistic are common as dirt, I have owned a dozen + sets of 10 and sold 2 full sets in Cleveland this past National. |

Interesting to note in another thread that these are actually Raphael Tuck and Sons oblaten (scraps), not sure why they are referred to as R&S.

You're right, and what I think is that when people look at the logo, especially on the oblaten, they mistake the T for the ampersand (&) behind it, or think the T is part of the ampersand for some reason (or someone did once, and now we all call the little baseball guys R&S.)
Here's the logo from another set of scraps I have: Which as you can see, the printing is not clear. Here's the logo from a postcard: Clearer to read, but the T is still somewhat obscured by the ampersand. I can see why this happened (does anyone know when?) and find it all very interesting (I have many, many Tuck postcards in my inventory.) Laura |
