Posted By: PaulI thought I'd start a new thread with this scorecard from about 1945. The text on the inside is a little fuzzy because I had to compress it to post the images. But it includes a very nice story of Pete Gray's career. The "Barnstorming Colored Giants" roster had no names that I recognize, but several players are listed as members of Satchel Paige's All Star team. <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1191717862.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1191717887.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1191717912.JPG">

Posted By: Chris BlandDanny, Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I am pretty sure the M101-5s you picked up are reprints. If you look at the space between the inner border and the image, the gap is much larger than it should be on a true M101-5. I am not positive though - maybe someone with a little more experience could give their opinion for you...

Posted By: MattChris - I was just going to say the same thing - that inner border looks wrong.

Posted By: Dan BrettaNo clue Ed. I picked it up at the Antique show at the state fairgrounds yesterday from a Kansas dealer. Nothing written on the back except the price.

Posted By: Al C.risafulliI don't post in these pickup threads nearly enough. Here's a cabinet card of Eddie Collins from 1906, when he was a student at Columbia. If anyone here was a prior owner of this item, and you know more about it, I'd love some more info. Clearly the mount was trimmed away from the photo, but the image is stunning. <img src="http://www.swingbattaswing.com/page1/files/page1-1005-full.jpg"> -Al

Posted By: Dan BrettaSo you're the culprit Al!!! Nice pickup...I noticed that Hunt's had quite a few items that once belonged to Collins in their last couple of auctions.

Posted By: Al C.risafulliSorry, Dan. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> I'm really happy to own this. I'm becoming more and more addicted to cabinets. I hadn't noticed the Collins memorabilia in Hunt, but that's good to know - thanks for telling me that. -Al

Posted By: Dan BrettaThat cabinet came from Hunt's. I just assumed you won it there. Did you get it off of ebay? A couple of months back (July?) they had 3 scrapbooks that belonged to Collins...I'm pretty sure this cabinet photo you have was owned by him.

Posted By: Al C.risafulliOh, no, I wasn't being clear. I bought the cab from Hunt, but wasn't aware they had a slug of Collins memorabilia that he once owned. I wanted to dig around and try and figure out where the photo came from and who took the shot, but to me, it adds even a little more excitement if the cab was potentially owned by Collins. I'll have to get in touch with Hunt and ask them. Thanks for that info! -All

Posted By: Dan BrettaI think you can almost bet that this cabinet was owned by him since it is from his college days and it's probably a one of a kind or perhaps only a few were made for he and his family. Add that to the fact Hunt's auctioned off scrapbooks owned by Collins and his wife and it's probably a certaintly. I've noticed Hunt's likes to spread out their collections they get from one auction to the next...they had a nice group of items that belonged to Smokey Joe Wood that they auctioned off over the course of 2-3 auctions.

Posted By: Al C.risafulliWow. That would be dope. I'll report back to 54 once I find something out - I don't want to hijack the new pickup thread much more, but Dan, I really appreciate all that info. That really makes it a much cooler piece than I even thought it was, if it's the case. -Al

Posted By: Al C.risafulliTurns out that the Collins cab is, indeed, from one of Collins' own scrapbooks. How about that! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Thanks for pointing it out, Dan. -Al

Posted By: Dan BrettaThat's great Al. I don't know why Hunt's doesn't mention stuff like that in their descriptions, but often times they don't. Collins is my favorite deadball era player and I seriously considered going after that harder, but lucky for you a once in a lifetime panorama came up and I shifted my focus. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: Robert SI bought this one a couple of years ago at a show in NY. Here are both sides of this cut-down cabinet. The writing on back identifies him as Edward T. Collins and as Eddie Collins and has a partial date of what looks to be a 'y' followed by '31, 1908.' <img src="http://vintageball.com/files/Collins_1908.JPG"> <img src="http://vintageball.com/files/Collins_1908B.JPG">
