show your 19th century cards

[zljones]

Happy new year. Apparently less than 10 graded SGC and PSA examples of my N172 Comiskey exist. Show me some other rare 19th century of even common 19th century it's all eye candy to me.:D

[CW]

Happy New Year to you (and everyone) as well, Zach. ^^^ Awesome cards to start the thread.

[zljones]

Awesome Ewing! I am still seeking that one for my collection

[z28jd]

If the World ended at the stairs going up to my room this would be considered the world famous Larry Corcoran collection, shown for the first time all together

Those are some nice Buchners, the colors are so bright. Most that I have seen are pretty dull and washed out looking.

Once upon a time, I considered trying to get N172s of all of the Canadian teams. I abandoned the idea early, because of how difficult the Toronto players are. I'm guessing a certain London player was going to be just as tough...How many Corcoran variations do you have with London, out of curiousity?


Great cards all!

8 of the 34 are London, 5 of the hands at chest pose and 3 of the hands at shoulder. They are very tough to find, I believe I have all of the ones I've ever seen, don't remember any getting away but I could be wrong. Also the other London player, Pettee is very hard to find. I won one many years ago off ebay and since then I've seen 2-3 of him on London

I saw the Ewing/Mascot in a magazine when I was 9 and I said I had to get that card. Only took me about 20 years to finally get it and it's not going anywhere. When I found out there was a Williamson/Mascot card too it took me about 3 days to get it because I found out about it when it was listed on ebay and had to have it.

That Alexander Cartwright is awesome. And that Delahanty too. Those were my favorite two. Beautiful cards everyone. Thanks for starting this thread - always like taking these guys out to look at....

This is what I hoped to see in this thread some awesome rarities. Peck and Snyder, N284, N184, rare old judges, 1870s cards, I am sitting at my computer with a piece of drool coming out. This thread now made me want a N284 O'Rourke hands on thighs.

I hope the pics keep coming!

[ScottFandango]

were the OJ's made before the ZOOM feature on cameras?

[zljones]

were the OJ's made before the ZOOM feature on cameras?

The first zoom lens was invented in 1902 and patented at the same time by Clile C. Allen, so back in 1886-1890 there was no zoom used

Here's the N172 Williamson and Ewing with mascot cards as well as a Warren Studios CDV of early star Cal McVey.

[brianp-beme]

Incredible cards everyone, and plenty I have never seen before. Some of these are as foreign to me as the shiny new stuff. I have hundreds of Pre-WW2 cards, but only have these five 19th century examples in my collection, and I think they are pretty neat, flaws and all.

Several have asked me ...... why don't I have these cards graded ?

My reply everytime simply is ...... why should I, I love flipping thru my album and enjoying these beautiful gems......the way they were meant to be.

Furthermore, during the past 26 years (thanks Barry Sloate for the 42 - N162's you sold me in 1985), I have put together another 2.5 sets of these
in the process of Up-Grading this set. So, why do I need a Grading Co. doing what I have already done ?

[z28jd]

Some fantastic cards, I had no idea Kenny had so many nice cards (nice McCormick & Radbourn). Always like hearing updates on the crazy Corcoran collection. Nice cards all.

Thanks Joe for that phrasing, I'm not crazy I just wanted to collect Old Judge cards of every player who played for the 1877 Livingston team that played out of the League Alliance and I got tired of waiting for the other guys to show up so I'm buying Corcoran cards while I wait for cards of Calder,Fell,Wilbur, etc :)

I have plenty of other 19th century cards I can post with getting insulted by my good friend Joe. Here's one of the nicest looking Player's League card I've ever seen(as Joe could tell you, they are known for their poor photo quality) and somehow I have it.

Interesting story,I've seen the negative for this photo and it shows more to the point you can see he is actually holding a shovel, not a bat and Goodwin labeled this the "Fend off Corcoran crowd" pose. Number 274-7b if you have the OJ checklist at home

[bcbgcbrcb]

Here's one of my favorites, not a card but a nearly impossible to find Negro League HOF'er, Frank Grant...........

[z28jd]

Because this thread is too good to die, I figured I'd keep it going with a card I finally got to scan. OJ Nyce on Burlington. He's the only player from the set on this team so it is super rare and try finding a nicer one. Heck I've tried finding a lower grade one so I could sell this one and use the difference to buy more cards!

These are the only two I currently own, but I may need to sell soon to help support the family. Though I plan on holding off as long as possible.

Jim- The original thread was on 10/18/09. There was also a Charlie Sweeney N338-1 and a Hess Newsboy in the find of only 20 cards. The other 17 cards were common OJs.

Very cool pieces, Michael. That's the earliest image of Ban Johnson that I have ever seen.

[zljones]

Comiskey, Johnson, and Connie Mack on one piece very nice! Also I was misinformed that Cap Anson was forced into retirement in January 1898, looks like his retirement was planned during the 1897 season, nice historical piece!

Recent addition.

Great photo Gary. Ideas on date and players? They almost look like cricketers.

[GaryPassamonte]

Leon-The baseball CdV was in the album pictured on this post. The album contained many Civil War era images as well. The baseball CdV is dated 1867 at the top. The players names are listed at the bottom and the picture was taken in Sante Fe, New Mexico. This is the earliest baseball CdV I have ever seen from west of the Mississippi. I have been in contact with the the New Mexico Historical Society, as well as other New Mexico organizations, regarding the image. Researching it is still a work in progress, but I believe the image will end up in some New Mexico historical publication eventually. The fact that there was a baseball team in the New Mexico Territory in 1867 amazes me. I also have a baseball CdV taken in the Dakota Territory, but it is from about 1880.

The reverse has the photographer's stamp: N Brown & Son

There is no writing on the reverse. The front has the year "1867" written at the top and the names of the players on the bottom: Keiting,Watts,Thacher.

What is on the back of this Old Judge is as interesting as what is on the front.

The back has a stamp portraying at-the-time Presidential hopeful Benjamin Harrison and his Vice-Presidential running mate Levi Morton. Wish it was more centered and darker.

Found a set of these on ebay a while back...

[HOF Auto Rookies]

The card is fine. It's the man I object to.

Awesome set. I cringed when I saw all of those "floating" cards in the holders. Have you thought about getting them re-holdered like the Anson and Ward so they don't move around and get dinged up?

I hand her my credit card and tell her to go buy a watch, she loves watches. Regretfully, since her birthday is Dec. 29, she decided to combine the anniversary gift with her birthday present. First anniversary and I don't like this trend! She already bought herself her Christmas present earlier this month.

This month my collection increased by a Buchner, hers increased by a Michael Kors and a Gucci. She's the big winner in the household pickup thread!

Man I still catch myself wanting to wear the tall ole tube socks.

Now, guys are wearing these little socks that are just below ankle level. Back in the 70's, you would a had a fist mark on your face for wearing those.

Leon- As Barney Fife would say, "Nip it in the bud." The allure of the CdV will become too strong and you won't be able to fight it off. Save yourself before it is too late. You don't want to end up like me, do you!

Hey Gary
Even if I wanted to get back into 19th Century stuff I don't have the resources to do it. That being said I have told several people lately that the little 1860s CDV is one of my favorite cards now. It has really grown on me. In doing some searching it's very difficult to find other 1860s-1870s baseball games in action.

[GaryPassamonte]

Game action CdVs are rare by any definition. That's a real cool CdV you have.

[cyseymour]

I'm a Boston guy, so maybe I'm biased... but that is a kickass Lowells CDV. They look like a bunch of tough guys with all the bats... great pickup.

[TexasLeaguer]

a couple 19th century pitchers...

[Leon]

Our friendly board member Jo.ann Kli.ne sent over these pics....and here is a bit of commentary on them-

"The team is the Red Apron Nine from 1886, or at least that's what's indicated on the back. I tend to believe that's true. I believe that this photo was taken with the women dressed as they played. Part of the reason I think this is because there is some baseball equipment and they are wearing similar hats. Mostly, though, it's because you can see, if you look closely, that they are all wearing aprons - their front skirt is a slightly different color than the rest of their dresses. Given that no one was plowing money into uniforms for female teams at this time, one of the cheapest ways to accomplish a uniform look would have been to wear aprons. Like, red aprons.

So I think they are wearing red aprons in this photo, along with hats and some equipment. And because of that, I think that the photo shows them as they played. And THAT makes this one of the very very few images I've seen that shows women in full long-skirt uniforms. The 1866 Vassar photos (fairly well-known) also shows long skirts. But that's about it. Even by 1890, the Franklin Young Ladies Base Ball Club cabinet shows them in shorter skirts and leggings/stockings.

I think this is very cool for that reason - playing in long skirts!"
