1910 Notebook Covers

This year, I picked up three 1910 Notebook Covers (kind of T3-like in look and pose).
Cobb, Lajoie, and Evers.

I heard there is a Griffith out there somewhere - but I have not seen a scan.

Does anyone know of any others in the series?

Any information / scans would be appreciated.

Hey Joe,

I use to have a very large notebook collection but traded it sometime ago to a good friend. I had about 10-20 different of these covers. I did keep the Matty shown in the photo below. I do remember there was Wagner, Breshnahan (SP?), and quit a few other HOFers. I will get the checklist this weekend for you.

Trevor -

A checklist would be great! Thank you.

Very cool Matty.

Joe,

I happened to be looking through one of Lew Lipset's old Four Base Hits catalogs (#20) tonight and remembered this post.

This is a description of one of the sets available, as printed in the catalog:

"Set of 8 Notebook Covers. Circa 1910. T3 like appearance. Measures 5" x 71/2" in beautiful color. Includes Cobb, Wagner, Collins, Bresnahan, Evers, Mathewson, Griffith and Lajoie. Overall Excellent + ..............$5,000.00"

The catalog has no date, but it's before Lew moved to Arizona, so I'm guessing early to mid 1990s?

Hope this helps.

Edited to add scan of ad:

Hi Joe,

I have 2 of the Roger Bresnahan notebook covers, which are matted and framed.
