Posted By: <b>Julie Vognar</b><p>This is a 1906 postcard with Bose Hutton (Lacrosse); Hutton was an early goaile: he also won championships in hockey and football the same year as lacrosse! Hutton is upper left.$140 <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1088290916.JPG"> <BR><BR>This is a small light cardboard scorekeeper, from before prohibition (1920). Numbers rotate for "Home team" and "visitors" hits, and runs, and at the bottom, a hole for the present "inning." $150<BR><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1088291376.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1088291412.JPG"> <BR><BR>These are Lawson's game cards, 1884--the first baseball game cards (I think). The center "catcher" I bought last year; the other two I bought this year to keep him company. They have gold edges. $30-35 a piece. (catcher was $50)<BR><BR><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1088291572.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1088291607.JPG"> <BR><BR>I also sold $600 worth of Colgans to a friend of Mark's. The postcard is from Mark, the other items from a Japanese man--whose name I better learn in November!<BR><BR>Also got an autographed photo, a big warm handshake and some conversation with Otis Sistrunk (ex-Raider). $20.

Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>I especially like that Hutton PC...great HOFer, and goaltender for the famous Ottawa Silver Seven. Hatton also won a championship for the Ottawa Capitals, the lacrosse team pictured on your PC, and played fullback for the Ottawa Roughriders in the CFL- pretty impressive resume!. I think it's even more special because as far as I know, Hutton is not featured on any cards whatsoever from the era (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). Congrats!

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Julie, I'm wondering if you could give my wife weekly phone calls in an attempt to make her understand that baseball cards, and the money spent on them, are good...whereas everything else is boring. Please let me know your availability. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Julie Vognar</b><p>are Imperial Tobacco of 1909-1910 (see Elliot's lacrosse LaLonde, posted in a discussion of 'rookie" cards, that looks exactly like a C56 of that year). There were LOTS of old photos at the show! Baseball, football.<BR><BR>Anybody have any good budies they talk about cards with that just happen to be women? I'm tired of gossiping about Clinton's book, everyone's weight and Dick Cheney...maybe if I found such a woman, we'd be too competitive...<BR><BR>510-848-7097.

Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>This lacrosse/hockey/cfl subject matter is carbon cut for our perma-neglected non-baseball forum. I thought it would be interesting to have a thread about NHL hofers like Bose Hutton who were around to early to have cards (pre-1910) or played at a time when cards were sparse to the extent that no cards were produced at all for lengthly periods of time. In fact, I dedicate that yet to-be-created thread to Bose Hutton, because he played and won a championship in three different professional (albiet Canadian) non-baseball leagues and doesn't have any cards.
