Posted By: mr. mosesMostly paper for now..... I know it takes a lot of work for people to access and scan their stuff....GIVE a little/take a little"-) I offer a bit with the hope that others might share. Even more than the attacks this stuff gets my blood pressure up. Presented in no particular order and without grouping by theme/rarity/or anything else other than they were close at hand. If I can help anyone in any way I'll be happy to try........... I have a fair amount of material and if the thread is well received I will post more.... well maybe. <img src="http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w155/mosesmr/post4.jpg"> <img src="http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w155/mosesmr/post5.jpg"> <img src="http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w155/mosesmr/post2.jpg"> <img src="http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w155/mosesmr/post3.jpg"> <img src="http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w155/mosesmr/post1.jpg"> <img src="http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w155/mosesmr/post6.jpg">

Posted By: barrysloateWhat gets your blood pressure up more than personal attacks- paper memorabilia? Just ribbing you, these are all wonderful and your Old Judge die cuts are in such nice condition. It looks like even the little delicate parts are still intact.

Posted By: mr. mosesThe Lorillard and the OJ) but the nomenclature changes as the people collecting this stuff change. The composites are IMHO some of the finest trade cards extant "all around" despite their lack of color and embellishment (Nation League Chew comes to mind as well as the Tobin series). I'd love to see a scan of the ones I'm missing in the OJ and REALLY love to see if anyone has the BLACK & WHITE Tobins........

Posted By: barrysloateI agree that the Lorillards are trade cards, but they are as close to a baseball card as a trade card could be. Today, the terms are almost interchangeable.

Posted By: joeHere are a couple of Ty Cobb items. The trophy is from 1913, W.B. Jarvis, Sporting goods company that Cobb was part owner. Located on Woodward in Detroit Mi. and Lansing Mi. These Trophies were given to High Schools for different sporting events. Ty Cobb with his off the field hat on the front. I have never seen another, if someone has let me know. The other is a Ty Cobb Brand straw hat. Joe <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1178309620.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1178309672.JPG"> Ty Cobb, Spikes flying!

Posted By: mr. mosesand I'll be looking for one for myself"-). Here's one that goes against the forum rules but I couldn't resist one last "illegal" post as isn't the EVOLUTION important to our overall understanding as well as the cards......? I've never seen an earlier reference to "collecting the cards" type of thing AND it's ON such a card (actually there are 2 cards in the set with such a reference but I can only put my hands on one right now - other says "Got any stamp cards mister?"). Both from a fairly common Duke insert set N85-Postage Stamps that capitalized on a newly emerging stamp collecting hobby. "Give us that card mister!" <img src="http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w155/mosesmr/cigcard.jpg"> (edited to add that the man is holding a pack of Duke cigarettes and the issue dates to 1887-1889 or so. Sorry for the poor scan) (edited because I didn't want to bump the thread unfairly and felt the need to add the following): Obviously the lack of posts to this thread suggests that many people don't want this subject discussed here. I have no problem with that. I for one will make sure whatever I post from now on will be ON the topic of pre-WWII baseball cards until such time as something changes in that regard. I wish only the best to the people here.....

Posted By: barrysloateJay- that's a fabulous postcard as it illustrates how popular the tobacco cards were among the kids of the day; and likewise, how they depended on the adults to give them the cards when they opened the packs. Thanks for sharing that!

Posted By: mr. mosesSo the postcard which is more generic and only suggests a tobacco baseball card without actually saying what kind of card is being referenced; is more PC than an actual card that IS a non-sport card but by inference could be talking about a "Duke" issue such as the Presidential Heads series which IS a baseball card.......same as it could be talking about the stamp cards (or other issues). I guess that's why I rode the special bus and got extra time on tests.....

Posted By: MikeThe lack of posting is no indication of lack of interest. far from it. I have an office filled with stuff...getting the time to scan, and also how should I scan odd ball items. Some I can't. I have a black marble award/trophy given to Connie Mack after his 29 and 30 world series win. It used to sit on his desk. Has a small clock attached to it. and two gold elephants. And I have no camera that I can hook up to my computer. Sterling award given to Gehrig, silver award given to Foxx. Cleats with Foxx's name engraved on them etc. etc. If I knew how to put them on here I would. But I do like seeing other peoples things.

Posted By: Jerry SpillmanHenry: This is a great post. Most people don't comment on posts of any kind. That doesn't mean your efforts are not appreciated. The "Read The Sporting Life" trade card you show has the identical style printed advertistment at the bottom as the H804-8A card. Here's a SL trade card I have: <center> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1178397806.JPG"> </center>

Posted By: gregI feel like I'm looking over my shoulder by posting something on memorabilia, but all I can say is it's neat to see this stuff. I knew as soon as I saw that Cubby fan that Mike would start drooling. Pretty cool piece. If you look at one of the other threads, it has become apparent that discussing pre-war memorabilia is frowned upon on this site. (I'm starting to know how the Black Sox felt <G>). As such, I would highly recommend to those who are interested in pre-war memorabilia go to a great site that a few of us on here go to. It's not as busy as this site, but it has a lot to offer. It has a variety of topics, including game used modern stuff, but I'm sure Mike H. and Dan will agree that this is a good place to post vintage memorabilia. All you have to do is scroll down to the Vintage Memorabilia section and bypass the rest if a category doesn't interest you (or not, if you're into other topics. There's something in there for everyone and nobody seems to mind the other categories being there). There's some cool stuff on there now. Hope to see some of the folks who haven't been there join in. I hope this makes the card people happy. Here's the link: <a href="http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_forum/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_forum/</a> greg

Posted By: gregI know the answer to 28 !!! But first, let me show you one of my baseball cards... <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1178493618.JPG"> Actually, Bill looks more like one of my aunts than Bill Carrigan, but that's another story. oh yeah...the 28 that's the number of million ESPN is reporting (or so my ears have heard while I was browsing the site, maybe I'm wrong) that NY signed "the rocket". Oh happy day, he's not coming back to Boston. I could never have lived with myself if I ever had to cheer him on. Edited to say this was not in a card thread so I hope nobody gets mad at me as I went a bit off topic. I hope you like my card.
