Favorite cards you own from the 1920's

[asphaltman]

Would love to see a couple of everyone's favorite type cards you own from the 1920's....which seems to get lost among the card decades by many collectors...

Here's a few of my favorites in my collection....condition not important as shown...

[x2drich2000]

I agree the 20's are generally overlooked which I think is due to most sets of the decade being B&W when sets from the 1910 & 1930 were primarily in color. Personally, I'm not a big fan of most B&W sets, however, I do like a few of the exhibits (but no longer have any) and for some reason, the e253 set.

Issued in late 1920.

Dave, nice cards! I'm probably one of the very few pre-War collectors who much prefers the real-photo, black-and-white cards of the late teens and 1920's. It is said that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," so I hope you don't mind my being a copycat:

I think this is the only one I own. I suppose that makes it my favorite.

The 1920's is certainly an overlooked decade for PreWW2 card collectors, but plenty of great card sets from this decade are out there, as you can see in Brian VH's post (he always showcases great 1920's cards). A couple of my favorite from the decade are the W503 and E220 National Caramel sets...great images in both, even if they didn't know how to spell Jim's last name.

Brian (hint for poster of post#13...M101-4/5 cards, while extremely cool, don't qualify as 1920's cards)

a few of my favorites....

[yanksfan09]

Nice Ruth's Jim.

For me 1915-1930 is probably my favorite period to collect. So many great Ruth cards in the 20's including his earliest Yankees cards. Love black and white cards.

A FEW OF MY 1920's POSTCARDS & EXHIBITS...

[brianp-beme]

A few examples of other cards from less common 1920's sets that I have always enjoyed: W575-2 Autograph on Shoulder, E126 American Caramel, and always love me some 1920's Zeenut cards, here featuring some goofy looking poses from 1920 to 1923.

Seeing all these cards from the 1920's just helps to reemphasize how badly someone needed to issue a set with some color. The most readily available cards with color were the strip cards, and most of those were of poor quality. Here are some examples of both type. I will add that I still love the Exhibit cards.

. . . 18 of them with the Washington Senators. He was at first base for all three of Washington's AL pennants -- 1924, 1925, and 1933. Before he retired, he set AL records for career games, putouts, assists, total chances, double plays, and fielding percentage. He had a career OBP of .378 and hit over .300 nine times. He also coached the Georgetown University baseball team for all but two years from 1936-1958.

I just posted this in the pickup thread but figured I’d drop it here as well. My first ever card from the 20’s. It popped up on eBay today. I think I got a good price. I’m very excited about this one.

Best assortment of unusual cards on any thread Ive seen on here in a while! WOW enjoying this a lot

My 1920's type cards.

My favorite card that I can afford.

[philliesphan]

That Chuck Klein PC collection is off the charts! I'm so happy I've got one in my personal collection.

I love seeing Zeenuts in this thread. Here is my humble 1920s contribution, a 2004 PCL Hall of Fame inductee:

[jayshum]

I've got about half the 1927 Exhibit set including this Ruth.

[brianp-beme]

Here are three background color variations from everybody's non-favorite strip card set, W9316. Bucking the 1920's trend, they are awash in color, or mostly washed out color. Except for the red flaming lips.

Brian

[Wanaselja]

Recent pickup that I’m in love with and am posting everywhere. Also, I think this thread is great.
