Indianapolis Indians
 

Did anyone here pick up the ebay BIN of 10 Indianapolis Indians grouped with the R313As from two weeks ago? I'd love to know what you've got there. Are there size, texture, and coloring consistencies with the R313As? Or is it clearly an unrelated regional issue as the poses, signatures, and minor league-ness suggest?

Yep
 

Hi George,
I got them. Email me and I'll reply tomorrow.

I was odds against George's post working. Silly me. It was Tim (money-pockets) Newcomb again :).

Hi Leon
 

How ya likin' those Sawyer Biscuits? :mad:

Mr Money-pockets

No links??

Are you guys talking about the old 1908 Indianapolis Indians PC set? The set with the earliest individual Rube Marquard? Or something else?

1934 Gold Medal Foods (?) - previously unknown Indianapolis players
 

There were 10 Indianapolis players in the group, clearly dating to 1934 - incl. manager Red Killifer. -

They certainly appear to me to be identical to the Gold Medal Foods cards I have researched in Old Cardboard (articles in issues 6 and 7)

They were with a GMF World Series complete set - the seller says he got them from an estate sale near Indy, so I have to presume they have been in family hands since 1934.

Better scan:

Hey, Those probably will be for future resale so it doesn't count. Only things not for resale count. So you are saying you don't have a French available? :) (neat pick up on those 1934 cards)

It almost reminds me of the W575-1 pickup with packaging from not long ago. Packaging is always a great ancillary item.

Resale? French?
 

Well, if you are going to resell them, why do you need to complete the set? :)

very cool. thanks for sharing!

Thanks for responding, Tim. These are great, especially if they belong with the GMFs.

To sell the "only set known", of course.
