Picked this up in a collection Saturday. 1927 Toledo Mud Hens team photo. Photo credited to Baker Art Gallery.
Any info on this item will be greatly appreciated. It’s appear to be on heavy paper (haven’t removed it from frame which seems to be the original frame). We googled it and found the 1929 photo that was sold in 2011 REA Auction but that’s it

[C-mack]

Exciting Mail day from PSA today! found this at a small Hotel show and took a chance on it .

highest graded by PSA ( not sure about SGC)

[BLongley]

Glad to have finally picked this one up.

[iowadoc77]

Great pickup Brian. If I hadn’t gotten one at the National I would have been chasing that one!

Well now you know why I had to sell my Merkle. :) Glad it went to a good home.

[BLongley]

Thanks Eric and congrats on grabbing one at the National. It's such a great image of two of the best! One of my favorites in my collection now.

Posting the back story despite knowing few if any care :) . . . my quest for the entire 1887 Detroit Wolverine team . . .

22 different players would collect stats with the 1887 Detroit Wolverines. Amazingly, 20 of those 22 players would be issued Old Judge cards. The two players who wouldn’t be memorialized by Goodwin are Fatty Briody (catcher) and Bill Burke (pitcher). Fatty can be found on several Detroit team pictures and is found on the Detroit baseball currency. Bill Burke however is the single most difficult player to find a card or image of. SF Hess came to the rescue when in 1888 they covered the California League with their N321 cards which include Bill “Turk” Burke but these cards are tough in comparison.

Bill Burke, Ed Beatin, and others would be recruited by Detroit during the summer of 1887 due to concerns with their pitching talent. Bill Burke was a giant at 6’-3”, 210lbs; a bit larger than even Big Dan Brouthers and Big Sam Thompson. One excerpt from the Detroit Free Press refers to Bill as “The gigantic twirler who came all the way from the Pacific slope”. Following is a summary of Burke’s only two games in the majors.

1st Game (July 20th, 1887 Detroit 6 at Washington 9)
Headline: “ROUGH ON BURKE – He Pitches a Good Game, but is Downed by Wretched Fielding”
Bill would be on the losing end of a ten inning contest 9 to 6 but only gave up 2 earned runs. An astounding ten errors by Brouthers, Ganzel, Rowe, and White led to seven unearned runs and the loss.

2nd Game (August 9th, 1887 Washington 10 at Detroit 13)
Bill would be hit more freely this game including four straight singles to lead off the fifth but this time superb fielding limited the damage. After five innings the game was tied 5 to 5 and manager Watkins asked Burke to swap with Larry Twitchell (Left Fielder) as he feared Burke would continue to be hit freely. Burke’s actions may have sealed his fate with Detroit; here is how the Detroit Free Press captured the exchange:

“Burke did not consider that it was the proper caper to take him out of the box, and so when in the last half of the sixth he received his instructions, he coolly put on his coat, sat down on the players’ bench and said he wouldn’t. This was a decided novelty and aroused the interest as well as the amusement of the spectators. Burke remained obdurate for a couple of minutes, but finally became rational and trotted out in the field. Burke has a good many things to learn, and one of them is that such a childish exhibition as he made of himself yesterday will not earn him the esteem of ball patrons here. The veteran pitchers of the league make a point of obeying orders such as that given him yesterday. Burke needs to indulge in a little quiet thought.”

And so the game resumed and when Twitchell was hit hard in seventh a few spectators indulged in calls for Burke. The ninth inning saw Detroit trailing 10 to 5 when they would score an amazing 8 runs with the biggest hit being a Bill Burke single with two outs to score the tying run. Despite giving up 5 runs over final 4 innings, Twitchell gets the win.

Despite his hitting heroics Burke would not be retained by Detroit. He would return to California and play for Stockton together with a few other minor league circuits but never return to the majors.

I present to you, Bill “Turk” Burke, the last player I needed from the 1887 Detroit World Champion squad.

Great story with a Glory Hallelujah ending, Joe. Doesn't deserve to be buried in the monthly pick-ups - should have its own thread. What a beautiful card!

Congrats Joe on your amazing accomplishment! And thanks for the interesting story on an obscure 19th century ball player. Mr. Burke’s memory will now live on (albeit in infamy).

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Joe that is a wonderful post! Any time a Hess card is posted it also a treat.

1927 Gehrig (the “fake” one!!).

[Bicem]

Beautiful Hoss Jeff.

[Bliggity]

Thrilled to pick up this card...my first D303 Mother's Bread. It's a beauty, and might already be my favorite card in my collection, at least until the wind blows in a different direction tomorrow. Fills a big hole in my E92-family type collection. Incidentally, the seller on eBay had a feedback score of (1), so I wasn't entire sure I was ever going to see the card, but the transaction was flawless.

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1884/30607013628_02ddbc9e1c_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/NCCWPw)

[Rhotchkiss]

Awesome Dan. Looks under-graded, but rare enough that who really cares about the grade. Great pick up, congrats.

[x2drich2000]

Great card Dan, a little paperloss on back, but otherwise very nice looking.

DJ

[Bliggity]

Thanks guys. The grade is accurate because of paper loss on back, but the front is beautiful - nearly perfect except for the corners. There are five total in the combined pop reports, but this one used to be in an SGC slab, so maybe four total. I think that makes it my second-rarest card, just behind a VE Schaeffer that I believe is 1/1.

Next I need a Red Croft's example, if DJ will let me win one!

[BLongley]

Lots of great pickups by everyone early in Sept! Not quite like August, but solid!

Ryan, I was watching that 27 Gehrig, if you grabbed it off eBay, it looks really nice! Congrats

I fortunately won this in auction the other day... had grabbed a few other 1915 CJs recently and LaJoie was next on the want list.

[brass_rat]

Jeff, very nice Radbourn...congrats on a big one.

Dan, I love the Mothers' Bread set. Congrats on a great pickup -- this set has a tendency to have odd flaking paper loss on the back, as the Plank shows...but it thankfully doesn't really detract from the card that looks great!

Steve

[charlietheexterminator]

Ryan, love that Gehrig buddy.

Dan, that Plank was a score, awesome card.

I can't believe that Hoss Radbourn. What a card! It used to be Lew Lipset's, if I remember correctly. It was one of my favorite cards as a kid, and it still is.

You are correct. Front and back cover of the Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards (by Lipset).

Amazing pickups from everyone! Love the PC796 Cobb-Wagner and the M110s that Scott showed. I see more and more RPPCs and exhibits showing up in threads. I'll add these ugly ones. Listed as 1926-29 exhibits with the plain background.

Quite pleased with the visual appeal on this Chief Meyers 1915 Cracker Jack.

I have had a caramel stained one for years in my Chief Meyers display case, so this one fills the void in my Cracker Jack display case. Nice to have examples of each type of 1915 Cracker Jacks...one that was packaged with the product and one that clearly wasn't!

That looks like a cyanotype printed on a napkin.

Congrats on the Lections. Always liked them - and looks like someone enjoyed that one to the max in the past. :D

Beautiful cards Brian, super sharp Cobby and who doesn't love a NC Wagner? Great cards.

Happy to add this one, been looking for a decent looking E121 Series of 80 Ruth for the grade for some time (Some back scrapbook paper/staining accounts for the grade)...

beauty rhett!

[Rhotchkiss]

Wow Rhett, that is very pretty. The back must be pretty banged up to get that grade bc it looks like a 3-4 on the front. Congrats

Beauty Rhett!

The back isn't too bad IMO, it has mostly extra scrapbook paper with some words that were on that scrapbook paper either staining the back or still in the paper attached to the back. It may be removable but I'm not going to mess with it.

Hey Rhett, that's a beautiful card for the grade! Great choice!

+1

That's the perfect "1" to find, the front is very nice and the back not too bad, definitely a great card to add to the collection! Great find and congrats.

[Rhotchkiss]

Brian, I agree with Orly -- you are on fire (buying and selling) and you have acquired some amazing items lately.

Jay, you aren't doing so bad yourself lately -- that Matty is a great front/back combo and is a hell of a sequel to your Cobb AB.

Rhett- that Ruth is great. I agree the back is not that bad- the grade is technically correct but the card itself looks far superior to the grade. Congrats all.

This is my sole September pickup and the only item I bought in the Heritage auction, but I am content.

[charlietheexterminator]

Ryan, killer Tinker buddy. The colors are amazing

Wow, that's a scorcher!!
Congrats Ryan!

Great Ruth for the grade, Rhett - congrats! But, I really expected that your first E121-80 Ruth would have a scarcer Type 2, Type 3, or Type 4 back - or, at least a Type 1 back that reads from bottom to top! :D

LOL, sorry to disappoint!

I actually already had a Babe Ruth (no quotes around Babe) with a blank back (W575-1) so it was another version for me. I still need the George Ruth (E121-80 Type 2 or 3, or Koester's Bread) variation to have one of each front with various backs.

Here is my other W575-1 Ruth (I don't think I have ever shown this one on the forum before)...
