Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>To most this will be no big deal but to me it's a great pickup. This is an N120 Dukes Novelties, and a card I didn't even know existed until seen on ebay. As someone trying to complete the pre-1950 ACC baseball type set this was really great. I have never seen this card before......<br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1163021754.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>The girl with the beanie facing right looks very familiar, although I have never seen this card before, either. Does this girl appear on a more clearly baseball related card?

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I may be going blind, but where is the baseball connection? Is that a stitched ball on the right? Is he/she wearing a baseball cap? If you didn't say it was baseball, it would have gone right past me. Is this the old type card scam...oldest trick in the book.

Posted By: <b>Tom Boblitt</b><p>on the back of it that I think is an N228--right Leon? You'd be welcome to make the same post at the Non-Sports forum too.......<br /><br />Was a little taken aback by the title of the thread but feeling a little more comfortable with it now........<br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>It is considered a baseball series so that is my assumption.....

Posted By: <b>JK</b><p>IMO, it looks more like the girl is pictured inside a baseball - there are lines on the ball that are at least similar to stitching you would see on a baseball.

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Leon, that's a very cool card. How far along are you in completing your pre-1950 ACC baseball type set? Any known percentage? Seems like a very tough, but fun long haul <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>leon...congratulations...nice card...but I agree w/Barry...tough to see the baseball connection. Is it part of a set with other baseball cards? Are any of them more blatant? <br /><br />I'm living vicariously through your type set Leon!<br /><br />pete ullman

Posted By: <b>Josh Adams</b><p>That's a pretty cool card. Nice images.<br />But I have a question. Why is it considered a baseball card, if there are no baseball images/references on it? <br /><br />Congrats on your find.<br><br>Go Go White Sox<br />2005 World Series Champions!

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>The little diecut Kinney Novelties (N228-3) are actually fairly common, but there are either 25, 50, or 75 different (3 series) so finding the baseball one is a bit tougher. I see about 4-6 of the baseball ones a year on eBay.<br /><br />BTW Leon, the type 1 Kinney cards (all round) are thicker and have 25 designs. And the type 2 are round with colored borders (there is a complete set of the N228-2 round cards on eBay right now).<br /><br />The baseball one (above) is a type 3 like these below.<br /><br /><img src="http://members.aol.com/canofprimo/kinney1.jpg"><br /><img src="http://members.aol.com/canofprimo/kinney2.jpg"><br /><img src="http://members.aol.com/canofprimo/kinney3.jpg"><img src="http://members.aol.com/canofprimo/kinney3b.jpg"><br /><br />All these above N228-3 diecuts are on eBay right now.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Like I said I assumed it was a baseball cap. But now that I look at the circle it certainly looks (sort of) like a baseball...I learn something new everyday....<br /><br />btw, I think I am less than a handful away from completion...then one pops up like this <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
