Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>For the past few years I have found blotter collecting to be most interesting and enjoyable. Here is a recent pick up. One of my more favorite series is the very scarce Steven's Firearm "cards" too. This Kaufman & Fabry Co., Cubs team card, has the normal blue blank back....with no ink on it <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Show a blotter if you care to. It's all fun (and rather addictive)....regards<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1220117643.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Very nice. It sort of harkens back to "A Yard of the Naional Game", or whatever it's called. <br><br>Visit www.vintage-autographs.com for the hobby's finest selection of vintage baseball signatures.

Posted By: <b>G. Maines</b><p>So far I have stayed out of this water ... it seems very warm, but very deep. Probably soon, I will no longer be able to resist getting my toe wet.<br /><br /><br />edited to add: I have purchased some n/s Military blotters.

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>These Blotters are quite nifty (and are rarely talked about). Hope more people can post a few additional ones. I saw one in Lelands a couple of years ago with Jackie Robinson touting racial equality. Very cool piece, in which I was the underbidder <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14> <br /><br />If anyone has this unusual example, please post it! Also, Leon... shouldn't these non-card threads reside on the other (memorabilia) side? Doesn't matter to me, but it seems there's less "traffic" over there...

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I consider these blotters to be kind of "tweeners" between cards and memorabilia....In retrospect I probably should have posted over there. I did start collecting them before we had a memorabilia side and have personally always considered them advertising cards....<br /><br /><img src="http://luckeycards.com/phunc1940smelottblotter.jpg"><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>G. Maines</b><p>No tweener to me.<br />The subject is baseball.<br />The item is a card.<br />Its backing absorbs ink.<br />?<img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
