Non-baseball vintage card questions
Posted By: <b>Ephuspitch</b><p>Just so those of you who are counting know ... I'm one of the many lurkers screwing up the page-view numbes for this board: I check things at least twice a day. I don't post much because I don't know an awful lot about cards. My own collection is HOF pitchers, and I'm at least vaguely familiar with most vintage baseball type-cards, with most of what I know coming from this board right here. (BTW, thanks Runscott ... my wife loved the t206s ... thanks for that beautiful Speaker/Alfred E. Neumann rarity, too!)<BR><BR>On to my questions:<BR>I've just come into possession of some vintage athlete cards, but all my reference books refer to baseball cards only. I'm in the dark.<BR><BR>The cards I have are mostly T218s (bareknuckle boxers, golfers, runners, billiard players), and I've had at least a little bit of luck finding out about them, but I don't know anything about the nuances of T218 values (backs, stars, rarities, etc). <BR><BR>There are two other types of cards in the lot I bought, and I'd like to know more about them, too. If anyone can give me info, or refer me to someplace on the web, I'd appreciate it.<BR><BR>The first type may also be T218s ... I'm just not sure. They have fairly large white borders w/name printed at bottom, in border (whereas the T218s have names printed against background, right?), but the images otherwise look like the T218s. They are all boxers, are a little larger than the T218s, and all have Mecca backs.<BR><BR>The other type cards are smaller than the T218s. On the back it says "Prize Fight Series, No 101 - 25 subjects". The backs are Oxfords (khedival co.) and Surbrugs Intermission (subrug co.)<BR><BR>One of the cards is from "Prize Fight Series, No 102 - 25 subjects."<BR><BR><BR>If anybody can tell me ANYTHING about ANY of these, I'll be much obliged.
