Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Nope- never saw a Blue Head with a neat ad like that, but any company could order a blank card and put their ad on it, so the possibilities are limitless. Some did nothing more than stamp their address on the front; this company went to great expense for their ad. There is a set of position player trade cards that have beautiful Peck & Snyder ads on the back with equipment pictured; that was a company that obviously felt it was important to produce a professional looking card.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Blue Heads aren't that expensive to begin with. A 20% premium would amount to less than $10. But I agree the wagon ad is special.

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Ive had hundred of baseball trade cards, some with fancy ads on back, one of my favorite was an ad for a wood works company with a nice picture for a wooden "teeter totter" with kids playing on it. The back ad sometimes is more attractive than the front. I also had one with a drawing of an 1880s lawn mower of the time. The most valuable ones will have ads thats are baseball related like a schedule or ad for sporting goods with pictures.<br /><br />The card you have is from the set called H804-17 "Blueish-Green Big Head Series", there are 9 in the set. They are fairly common and popular. If I had that one Id sell it for $15-$25 mainly because of the damage. If nice without the corner problem, Id list it for more like $50. Its a nice ad but doesnt add a whole lot to value.<br /><br />The cool thing is, that is basically a "car" ad for that 1880s era. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Frank
