Show a Scarce Pre-WWII Type Card

To my knowledge, both of these are unique and from a set still never identified, but perhaps related to the Four-on-One Exhibits.

I cover them in my Exhibit book. A set of 10 issued in a horizontal strip using the art from the PC back set.



They appear to correspond with the subjects on the earliest 4 on 1 Exhibit cards that mix baseball, boxing and entertainment. Here are a few more:






FWIW, they are real rarities.

The only Orange Old Put backed E98 that I have ever seen......unfortunately, sometime in the last 110 years, someone laminated it! I am 99% it is authentic though.

CRAIG, YOUR 1886 H812 WELTON CIGARS BUCK EWING IS MY FAVORITE CARD IN THIS THREAD SO FAR, YET EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE HAS POSTED THUS FAR IS PRETTY AMAZING STUFF!

You're right about it being the top of an exhibit. It's the top of the exhibit that you posted in post 52, just a different color. I really like these strips, exhibit cut outs. I'll have to pick one up one of these days.

Sadly (sort of) I recognize many of the cards in this thread. At least they went to good homes.

[darwinbulldog]

I'm hoping one of the Kroger Home Run Bread cards shows up here. Anybody know who has those now?

[glchen]

Here are some tough sheet variations.

[BabyRuth]

So primitive and creepy looking, a great combo

[Leon]

Plate example E100s used in Lew's Encyclopedia. Type 1s are tough. Type 2s are exponentially tougher as many on this board know.

Jay,

Thank you for your post. The Hoffman is a 1911 Sporting News.

[Leon]

A 1936 Kroger bread card....

Here's another example for the thread. Both the Cobb and Wagner were not known to be part of the set until I shared these with SCD back in the 1990s.

[gabrinus]

Nice ones Scott...Jerry

[Leon]

Have always loved those!!

Here is another type card and is from Wheaties..ca 1941 (Shown many times) but still neat..It is approx 5x7 on heavy cardstock.

[phlflyer1]

Thanks Jerry and Leon.

Here are a couple more scarce types to keep the thread going.

Not sure how scarce this is but information about them seems pretty scarce.

[chalupacollects]

Anyone have Ware's Department Store cards? I used to occasionally go into the building it used to be in when I was but a wee child.... Was a Bloomingdales afterwards..

Examples from these bread-card sets are not easy to find:

[chalupacollects]

Nice Ware's cards!!! Only wish I knew about them years ago.... would have ventured into the basement of the old place (unseen of course) and see if any were tucked away in corners...

[Rhotchkiss]

This is an awesome thread. Here are a few post cards

[CobbSpikedMe]

I know this one isn't baseball but it's still a scarce prewar card.

This is an e79 with a rare red back instead of the common black back.

I agree

[edjs]

Don't see this too often.

[edjs]

These are neat, too. Kind of get to see the making of a card process. I believe these were rejects of the plan for Obaks.

[gabrinus]

Those are cool Ed...Jerry

[tedzan]

OK, these 1943 M & P Co. strip cards are not really scarce....individually.

But, how often do you see an original (8-card) uncut strip ? ?
