Does anyone know what this stamp on the back is? Was?

Glad to add a few wrappers to my 1933 & 1934 sets. You can see Goudey's transition across those 1933 wrappers from a) "Free picture of Babe Ruth" -- sending a single Ruth premium to b) "Pictures of big league stars" -- their 4-card set of both All-Star teams and that year's World Champs.

cool ink shift Cobby

Looks like "From (someone) and Jacobs Groceries."

Great pickup!

Thanks Jason I think you’re right. Hopefully google will let me figure out what the first word was.

Pretty happy with these. In hand I really can't tell how this Bresnahan got a 1.5.

Thanks Rob!!

Great card Brian! Congrats. You have been picking up some very solid T206 HOF front-back combos lately.

I think I picked up the E Collins from the same Seller on BST. The HM Taylor Cobb is courtesy of Goldin.

Ryan,

That HM Taylor Cobb is sweet man!

+1 Great card

You may be right, I did grab it through BST here on Net54. As usual nice pickups yourself!! You’re always getting some sweet cards!

Also picked this up in Philly

Couple of New Yorkers

Love the Brush postcards Jeff. Great looking example.

Antelope Montana, population 43, median income today $16,500
 

Great stuff so far. Here is an rppc of a game in Antelope Montana...seems most or all of the town showed up for it. It looks a bit sparse though. Where are the bathrooms?

From Wiki - "As of the census[5] of 2000, there were 43 people, 21 households, and 11 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 532.7 people per square mile (207.5/km²). There were 24 housing units at an average density of 297.3 per square mile (115.8/km²). The racial makeup of the CDP was 100.00% White.

There were 21 households out of which 23.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 38.1% were married couples living together, 4.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 47.6% were non-families. 47.6% of all households were made up of individuals and 14.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.05 and the average family size was 3.00.

In the CDP, the population was spread out with 18.6% under the age of 18, 16.3% from 18 to 24, 14.0% from 25 to 44, 34.9% from 45 to 64, and 16.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 46 years. For every 100 females there were 168.8 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 169.2 males.

The median income for a household in the CDP was $16,500, and the median income for a family was $16,500. Males had a median income of $21,250 versus $15,250 for females. The per capita income for the CDP was $5,455. There were 28.6% of families and 22.4% of the population living below the poverty line, including 26.9% of under eighteens and none of those over 64."

“It is a leisurely game that demands blinding speed. A pastoral game, born in crowded cities. The only game where the defense has the ball...It follows the seasons, beginning each year with the fond expectancy of springtime and ending with the hard facts of autumn..."

Many thanks to Pete Costanzo for this tough color combo E94 Crawford.

Nice Crawford Steven....Jerry

Picked up my fourth t206 with this unique writing on the back. The original owner would write the year and the position with what looks like fountain pen.
Shout out to Pat R., who's found two of these for me. Let me know if you have any like this (and are interested in selling/trading).

Very nice Cobb, Jeff... And Glenn, great card -- you should show the back...and good luck on the unique writing endeavour, Tony.

A very big thank you to Matt for this one!

...in it's entirety, still gives me goose bumps:


“It is played everywhere. In parks and playgrounds and prison yards. In back alleys and farmers' fields. By small children and old men. Raw amateurs and millionaire professionals. It is a leisurely game that demands blinding speed. The only game in which the defense has the ball. It follows the seasons, beginning each year with the fond expectancy of springtime, and ending with the hard facts of autumn. It is a haunted game, in which every player is measured against the ghosts of all who have gone before. Most of all, it is about time and timelessness. Speed and grace. Failure and loss. Imperishable hope. And coming home.” - John Chancellor, Narrator in Ken Burns’ ‘Baseball’

Steve, is this same exact pose (and color scheme) as Tinker? Great card BTW

Yes, thanks -- it's one of seven cards in the set where they reused artwork from other players. (Seven assuming that Bressler exists and is reused artwork like I've guessed in my MB thread.)

Got it, thanks. So they got lazy on artwork in this set, theE91 set (where Tinker is identical to Wagner- looks like Tinker get shafted often), any others? I guess no need to answer that- it’s real OT - just thinking aloud.

Steve any idea who is the real player (of the 7)?

The back, as requested.

Collecting the Louisiana type cards isn't cheap, but a card in this condition helps a lot.

Damn Jeff! Nice.

Jeff do you ever sell these or are you just hoarding as many Cobbs as you can?

I haven't been able to pick one of these up for a long time. I was lucky to see it pop up on eBay before anyone else could get to it.

Nice Jeff, congrats. Here is another Cobb, picked-up off BST tonight. Edited to add this Red Cobb PB, thanks Wilson.

Great Cobb pickups all around the board this month! That DiMaggio is very nice as well.

Nice pickups Ryan

Really glad to pick up this tough H804-39 Duke Cameo Studies baseball trade card on eBay. You hardly ever see these.
