Let's see some cards from the lesser-publicized sets

[the 'stache]

I am very much enjoying collecting my T206 set, but on the discussion about what the culture of the forum used to be like, Barry made the comment that the pre-war forum has become almost too t206-centric, to the chagrin of many. As a newer collector from this era, I have seen just how easy it is to get lured by the high profile of "the Monster". It offers many challenges because of the sheer number of cards within the set, and the different ways it can be collected.

But I don't want to talk about that set today. Nor do I want to talk about the wonderful Goudey cards, or the Cracker Jack sets. I want to ask you guys to share your favorites from what might be considered slightly lesser-known sets. Cards that hold just as much history, cards that have just as much charm, only they lack the big spotlight.

So, if you please, let's see some of your favorites outside the "major" sets I have listed. And if you would, please tell me how you got interested in collecting the cards you're showing me. What makes them special to you? I would love to learn some more about the cards produced in the late 1800s, too. I understand that the Allen & Ginter sets, the Old Judge, etc are considered benchmark sets for their period, but I know very little about them. I would like to broaden my knowledge on these, too. How were the pictures taken back then different from those just 20 to 30 years later? Let's see some Hugh Duffy cards, some Cap Ansons, some Captain Jack Glasscocks and some Tim Keefes.

[MattyC]

These are two very collectible sets, IMO. I find the D304s to be like small works of art. And the e90-2 Wags has always been "the attainable portrait," to me.

[Mikehealer]

Here's three E270 Colgan's Red Borders

[the 'stache]

I have to admit a soft spot for the American Caramel cards. I think I just like the candy cards in general. The D304 is new to me, however. The likeness of the Cobb is sharp, and I like the color and level of detail.

Good start to the thread, Matt! I'd love to add a Wagner portrait, but the ones I have seen have been way beyond what I want to spend. I'll have to look into this one.

Here's three E270 Colgan's Red Borders

Mike, where did one get these? You've piqued my curiosity.

[ullmandds]

Not to be left out d303's...one mislabeled...and a token t216 mino.

[Mikehealer]

Nice Mino Pete. I've got a D303 Evers that could be the twin of yours.

Bill, the E270's came in tins with gum just like their brother, E254 Stars of the Diamond I believe.

[ullmandds]

mike...i bet yours doesn't have a crease across his face!

[Mikehealer]

Not only does it have a crease running through his face, its also mislabeled by a TPG.

[ullmandds]

that's crazy...both psa and sgc mislabeled it!

Always loved the D311's

I really love these cards too

[Texxxx]

I have liked the M101 4/5 set for some time now. I think one of the reason I feel in love with it was the way Mendelsohn distributed the cards to different companies to use for promotional cards. Lots of diversity in the set. 200 different fronts with 18+ different backs. Low grade common cards with common backs go for around $20 or chase the Babe Ruth card for thousands.

[Leon]

here are a few..

[MattyC]

I hope to see some Frederick Fotos here-- talk about a very unique set, that also has a monster rare Ruth in it, too.

[Zach Wheat]

One set which is frequently overlooked is the V61. It is a Canadian chocolate set issued with Nielsens Chocolates. It has most of the major stars of the era, has photos that were used in many similar sets and has a rare variation (type I).

Although the Type I variation is found less frequently than the Type II variations, it is a challenging set to collect.

Will post pics when I am back.

[the 'stache]

Amazing, guys. You all have some incredible collections. I love my T206s (though I sometimes get the feeling that others look at T206 collectors as kids with training wheels on their bikes), but rest assured I am going to put together a very diverse collection.

With the inclusion of the Cuban cards in this topic, I have to ask if there were any major card sets produced for the Negro leaguers? I recall seeing one Josh Gibson card in a REA catalog, but it seemed to be a regional production. I'll have to go back and find it.

I love how baseball cards came in all different shapes and sizes, from the T3s down to the bottle cap sized Domino discs and Colgan Red Borders. And they're all beautiful in their own right. They employ all different kinds of printing techniques. And the advertising makes these cards more interesting. They combine baseball with Americana. I remember shopping at Gimbles when I was a kid in Wisconsin. Advertisements keep places like Gimbles, Marshall Fields, Boston Store, etc alive.

[the 'stache]

Ok, newbie question. Can somebody please explain to me what a strip card is? Are these hand cut cards?

[dstudeba]

Sorry Ted, but it is a pet peeve of mine.

This is an N321 what you showed has been referred to as a N321 Proof, or paper thin, or Type 3

Thank you, dstudeba. We are definitely down the rabbit hole now. I'm subscribing to this thread. Lots of things to read up on.

Everybody please make sure your cards are labeled so I know what they are. I think most everybody has, but I just want to mention it.

If there is a God in heaven, he'll let me live a long life. I don't need expensive cars, boats, a house in the Hamptons, or a lot of bling. Just let me put together a kick ass collection to love, and to inspire others. :p

Are the N321s lithos, or are these hand drawn? They're beautiful.

To your earlier question Bill, yes- strip cards are hand cut from strips of cards... this isn't necessarily a strip, but was hand cut from what had been a pair of Menko cards. I know there are a number of uncut strips that have been posted to the board.

The N321s are lithos I believe. They are from the same photos used in the N338-1 SF Hess series. Below are scans of an N321 (from eBay) and an N338-1.

Those are great cards, Ian! Lots of variety, too. As for the vintage, you're allowed! ;) I don't think anybody here will raise a stink to your inclusion of the great Jackie Robinson!

I have seen those Sporting Life cards before, and I like them very much. The colors are very soft, almost like they were done with pastels. Eventually I'll be adding a Wagner and a Plank to my collection, and those two are great candidates. They evoke the Monster, but they stand on their own, also.

You knew I'd like all of those. Come the beginning of the year, the hardest part for me will be choosing which cards I want to buy first.

Therefore, if I understand you correctly, SGC mis-labelled my N321 card of John Smith ?

If so, then what value do you place on this S.F. Hess card ?

[dstudeba]

Bill - Thanks for the kind words and starting a good thread.

Adam - Never get tired of seeing your Adam's Hats.

Ted - Yes, I saw the first SGC mislabelled one in a Legendary catalog a couple of years ago. I emailed Doug Allen about it, but didn't hear anything back. Since then I have unfortunately seen a few more. I think their value is half that of those that were put in packs, but I believe Terry Knouse had a number of these and would probably know better. Here is the best reference I have found on them, years ago from Cycleback. I have not taken the time to confirm or refute his assertion that they are probably one of a kind. http://www.cycleback.com/1800s/tobacco4.htm

Edited to add:

For a specific number, my Whitehead is for sale for $1200 (http://www.baseballcardresource.com/forsale/Collection/1888_N321-3_Whitehead_GAIA_1200.jpg), so I put the value on it at a little less :)

Thanx for the great info regarding these cards (proofs); and, for the link to David's informative website.

My John Smith proof is a perfect example why I don't usually like acquiring graded cards. In raw form, I
would have realized it was the "paper" issue.

Anyhow, SGC's new location is only an hour drive from me......so, the next time I visit them, I will have
them re-grade (re-label) this card.

I really appreciate your enlightening me on these S.F Hess cards.

I really love the colors of this 1911 Baseball Bats Type 3 card of WaJo, which I recently made my avatar. The other 2 types of Baseball Bats cards have greyish backgrounds, as opposed to red backgrounds. Some, but not all, Baseball Bats cards have orange borders, like this one, and are sometimes misidentified as 1910 Orange Border cards.

[Zach Wheat]

Here are some Neilsen's V 61-1 & V 61-2. The Type 1 cards are printed with the company name in a Gothic script on the reverse and seem to have a thinner more fragile card stock. The fonts used in a Type 2 card is plain, on a thicker card stock. The photo's were used in other sets including E121's (purist classify some of these as W 575-1's), some strip cards like W573's and even some pre-war W572's with a modern (ie post-2000) stamp added that looks like a V61-2 Neilsen's ad back.

The Type I set has approx. 120 cards with a good mix of big names including Cobb, Ruth, Johnson, Sisler, Hornsby, Alexander, Collins, Goslin and Wheat.

Bringing these out tonight to scan them reminded me that there is much more to Pre-War than just T206. Thanks for starting this thread, Bill.

Another bread card.

[dstudeba]

Hey Ted, was it ever determined where that Foxx came from? I remember something about the image being on a Wartime Bond poster, but I forget now. Tough piece.

[Pat R]

Jeff, I like the Stevens Firearms Philadelphia Athletics I was actually going
to ask if anyone had any of these since you rarely see them. Although I
don't collect guns having grown up in a family that hunted I have a number
of them and it combines two of my interests, so in the future I would like
to own one.

someone mentioned Steven's Firearms cards/blotters. Here are a few...with ole man Mack burning a hand rolled stogey :) And a large promo card of the Macon Peaches team, with "Little Willie" the League's most popular batboy.

Leon, It was me thanks for posting yours. I know they come in different
colors but most of the ones I have seen have been blue.
Have you seen any of these for sale recently?

No, I haven't seen one for sale in at least a few years, from what I can remember. They do come up and aren't too terribly expensive when they do.....A common might be $150-$250 and a HOF'er might double that, depending on grade etc....They are neat though...and I especially like them when they have specific company ink stamps on them, as the top one does.

[dstudeba]

Here is a discussion on them a from few years ago (http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=118814).

Below is the only known copy of the last discovered one.

[Exhibitman]

Not much chatter about Wheaties cards but I think they're not only some of the better looking cards of the 1930s, they are some of the best values for 'budget-conscious' HOF collectors:

[ValKehl]

Being a native and life-long Virginian, one of my next-to-impossible collecting goals is all of the cards with Virginia State League players. T206 and T210-2 cards are relatively easy to obtain, but T209-2 and E222 cards are really tough. If anyone is willing to part with an E222, I have good stuff to trade, including a N403 Yum Yum and a N172 Hank O'Day.

When I first started showing interest in the Goudey cards as a teen an older collector suggested looking at the Delong set as well. He was right these are nice cards, but never got another one after my first:

Yes, Ken, it can get better - how about a tobacco trade card with Wag's picture on it?!!

BTW, your beautiful D310-Peckinpaugh would sure make a nice addition to my 1924 Senators players' card collection! :D

Hi Val,

Speaking of the Senators, I picked up this photo at the Chantilly Show. Apologies to the OP as this is neither a card nor is it from a set.

A few less common ones:

1922 Eastern Exhibit - Speaker...one of the tougher Exhibits

1911 S74 Colored Silk - not that rare, but still pretty and unique looking

1923 Lections of Shawkey and Chance - about as low grade as cards can get, but try finding one for sale anywhere

1910 T100 Silhouettes - New York Giants catcher. Very scarce, mostly non-sports set with a few sports images

[ctownboy]

A few different things. Curtis Ireland Candy, S81 silk and a 1928 York Caramel Type 1 card.
