Posted By: <b>Seth B.</b><p>Some of these 19th century trade cards are really great, and instead of hijacking Michelle's thread, I thought I'd start a new show-and-tell thread with one I just received in the mail. I've never seen these before, so I'd love to hear if anyone can tell me what it is. There's an ad-back.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1148494902.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Glen V</b><p>I read that the ACC listed trade cards as H804, with only 9 sub-catagories. H804-9 was other, which must be a pretty broad catagory. Someone added more sub-catagories in another publication. These new designations seem to be what Frank uses. Anyone know what guide contains the additional catagories? Is there a listing of these somewhere online?<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>"Baseball Advertising Trade Cards" by Frank Keetz (1997, 83 pages) has listing of most all baseball related trade cards.<br /><br />The "Checklist of Sets" go all the way up to H804-40 with a few sub categories as well. There is also checklists for "Single Cards with Titles", and "Single Cards without Titles".<br /><br />The soft cover book is out of print as far as I know, and tough to find now. It took me a few months of searching for it before I found one on eBay a couple years ago.

Posted By: <b>ernest reyes</b><p>The first trade cards "Score Another" is a H804-14 Big White shoes Series. It is a 9 card set made circa 1884.<br /><br />You can still get Keetz's book. I received one several months ago from the copyright owner. Apparantly, Keetz sold the rights to the guide to a ephemera/ trade card dealer. I'll check to see if I still have his name, number and address. <br /><br />And here are some of my trade cards: The first is a H804-38 An Accurate Barometer, second is H804-11 Cosack & Co., third is H804-10 Corner Clefs <br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/ernestreyes/19thcenturybaseballrarities/victorianbaseballtradecards/h80438anaccuratebarometer/websize/barom.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/ernestreyes/19thcenturybaseballrarities/victorianbaseballtradecards/h80411cosackco/websize/4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/ernestreyes/19thcenturybaseballrarities/victorianbaseballtradecards/h80410cornerclefs/websize/cornerclef.jpg"><br /><br /><a href="http://dodgersblueheaven.blogspot.com/" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://dodgersblueheaven.blogspot.com/</a" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://dodgersblueheaven.blogspot.com/</a</a>><br /><a href="http://imageevent.com/ernestreyes" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://imageevent.com/ernestreyes</a" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://imageevent.com/ernestreyes</a</a>>
