Posted By: <b>Chris</b><p>Are there cards of these guys out there? I know there are some exhibits and strip cards of Mays. Anything more mainstream? Anything at all on Chapman?

Posted By: <b>Judge Dred</b><p>Ray Chapman<br /><br />The Sporting News series of cards have plenty of Chapman's:<br /><br />M101-2<br />M101-4<br />M101-5<br />M101-6<br /><br />Then there are the felt issues:<br /><br />BF2<br />B18<br /><br />There's probably more but the Sporting News issues would be your best bet. The cards are nice B/W photos. Although the books don't show much of a premium on his cards an auction will indicate differently.

Posted By: <b>Rhys</b><p>This is a little off topic, but when I was in 6th grade my teacher informed our class that her maiden name was Chapman, and that her grandfather was the only major leaguer killed during a baseball game. I didn't think too much about it at the time, but I wished I had asked her if she had any of his autographs, they would be worth well into the thousands for a cut signature. In 15 years of collecting obscure player autographs I have never even heard of an authentic Chapman signature.<br /><br />I decent condition Collins McCarthy or Sporting News will set you back $200 of Chapman. Mays has a ton of cards and your best bets for a cheap example which looks really nice are the 1921 and 1922 exhibit cards. I bought one on ebay last year for about $15<br /><br />Rhys

Posted By: <b>Brian Campf</b><p>FYI, I listed on ebay today perhaps the rarest Carl Mays card of them all: a 1924 Cuban Diaz Cigarettes card. <br />See <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31719&item=5143880999&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31719&item=5143880999&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW</a>
