Kalamazoo Bats - N690
Posted By: leon
Since there was a fire sale today (just kidding Dave) on the BST with some Kalamazoo Bats cards why not post some, if ya' got 'em? Team, single player, double player.....I'm not picky.....and this one was bought from a board member several years ago...It's interesting how many trades and sales we do with other board members, on or off the board....... |

Beautiful card. I'm relatively unfamiliar with them. I love the two players on the card. Do a lot have 2 players on them? |

I know there are at least several with 2 players. It's my type for the set and I don't know a lot about them otherwise...except they are neat....I never get tired of seeing this one too. Though it has a bad scan the image is one of the best I have ever seen on a 19th century card. Even discriminating collectors like this one and if I am not mistaking at least 2 board members owned it before me.... |

Interesting back - which would you rather have, 50 of these cards, or a tortoise shell pocket knife valued at $1? |

Preece, spectacular cards; not only in the subjects but the condition. I've never seen KBat cards that pristine. |

is there a distinction between the 1886 and 1887 KB? It seems that SGC has given both dates pretty loosely. Any help on the distinction (if any) would be appreciated. |

The NY Kalamazoo bats were likely 1886 due to the existence of the Corcoran card. The real expert knowledge on this set would have to come from Jay Miller. Maybe he will sound off here. |

If memory serves, Jay once told me the NY players were issued the year before the Philadelphia ones. Clearly, the NY players were part of an extremely small print run, while the Philadelphia ones were mass produced. Since one needed to accumulate several hundred and redeem them for one of their great prizes (like a meerschaum pipe or a nifty umbrella) they must have been pretty easy to find. |

Barry - if we don't know that anyone actually had enough to redeem, we don't really know how plentiful they were. All we know is that the intention was to make them so plentiful that people could get enough to redeem. That may have happened, or maybe they didn't sell, and the cost of production/distribution wasn't worth it so they canceled the run. |

Barry--I believe the NY players were issued in 1886. The exception is Esterbrooke who I think was added in early 1887. The Philadelphia players are not all common (although many are). Several involving Athletics players such as Milligan and Larkin, Seward and the Lyons that KO bought on Ebay are thought to be unique. |

I also believe the cards with the ad back are much tougher to find compared to the more common blank |

Yes, ad backs are tougher, no doubt. |

I'll go ahead and ask first..........Is there anyway you can post a picture or preferably scans of the fronts and backs of the cards?
