1916 collins mccarthy cards
Posted By: Vanessa Phipps
Hey got a call the other day from a friend who has an elder family member who has some vintage baseball cards. My friend has told me that there is a babe ruth card, joe jackson, and a ty cobb card that when he came over to my house we looked up on the computer and he picked out the 1916 collins mccarthy as the cards that these looked like. So of course I am excited if they are real. My question is: are there reprints of this set. Is there a sure fire way of detecting a reprint of these cards? Is this set reprinted like say the Fro Jo cards? Any help would be great! I will be going to look at these cards soon. They are in a neighboring state so It may be a couple of weeks before I can see them. Thanks for any help |

First off the cards are from 1917, not 1916. There are several different types of this card which exist (Different backs). Collins-McCarthy, Weil, Boston Stores, Standard, Blank backs, etc. Reprints of this series began circulating in 1972, and many other reprinted versions have been created over the last 35 years. Familiarize yourself with the paper stock and printing characteristics of an original one before attempting to buy or evaluate any of the stars. |

Vanessa, with all due respect, the cards are from 1917 (NOT 1916) and listen to what Mark said. |

The SGC flip says 1916 which is why she thinks they are 1916. |

Vanessa- Mark knows more about vintage baseball cards than just about anyone in this hobby. And graded card labels often do have errors. They were issued in 1917. |

I agree with the 1917 date, but that doesn't really matter, if the cards are genuine. |

Believe me I am not questioning anybody's expertise here. I was just going by the SGC slabs that i have seen of these cards. There is a Ty Cobb card of this set that is on REA auction 2007 archive |

The Collins McCarthy cards were catalogued for decades as being 1916 cards. It was only in the last 3 years or so that the revised date of 1917 became generally accepted. So I think both Vanessa and SGC can be forgiven for refering to them as 1916s. I'm assuming, based on Cat's post, that SGC slabbed the "1916" Alexander a few years ago. |

and yes, they have been reprinted. The reprints are obvious in hand--they are whiter and the images are far less sharp. |

Q... So did you get cold feet on the PSA 4 Fatima? It's there and then it's gone. It must be nice to have so many Dups that you can just exchange the pics. |

Photo is blurred. Text and border looks too heavy -especially the number. Same with the back. Hope I'm wrong. |

I agree, caption on front is too dark and blurred, not sharp and crisp. |
