Show a card with a tack hole in it
I got this recently and am surprised by how little the hole in the card bothers me. In fact, I find it kind of cool that a 105 years ago a kid liked this card enough that he wanted to put it on his wall so that he could look at it every day.
Let's see your cards that a kid decided to hang on his wall like artwork.

OK. I survived the first one.

Here's a Cobb Turkey Red that I once had in my set.
I didn't mind the tack hole as it had a half moon effect above Ty's head and I thought if the hole wasn't there the card would have been graded higher & thus out of my budget |

A couple of Pinkertons, one REALLY shows a lot of love!

I got these two severely trimmed and tack-holed HOFers from completely different sources, and have always believed that they probably came from the same collection, 120 years ago. I like that.

T3s with tack holes are some of the best values around, IMO.

Most of my T3's have at least one tack hole among other issues

I have a similar card of Jimmy Ryan. The hole really does not detract much at all from the presentation.

Thanks Josh - I will give you a shout if I need to move it.
Edited to add: Thanks to everyone who has posted so far, this is fun. Let's keep 'em comin'.

Two More OJ's
I really like this thread and wondering where all of the examples hung and the stories behind them.
I wonder if Kevin C.'s OJ got the "Authentic" based just on the pin hole alone. |

|

It should not have (the Ryan card I mentioned has a number grade), but who knows? The card appears to be otherwise perfectly fine (size and back).

Maybe a little more than a tack hole

Pinhole never bothered me when I owned this one.

This doesn't compare age wise with most of the cards that have been posted, but it appears to have taken 2 tacks to hold this one to the wall

My first 3 T206's, from about 1991. I still have them.

Would not have bothered me either. Great card.

Great thread. I'd love to know the stories behind all these cards and the kids that originally owned them. A guy I work with tacked a '90 something Sandberg to my bulletin board. When I first saw it I remember thinking, boy if that was a mid 60's card from when I was a kid, I'd be bummed out having a hole in a Sandberg card.

Tired of waiting for a high-end so I bought this one
....the pin-hole and uneven hand-cut edges probably saved me a few dollars but this version hardly ever becomes available anymore . I reckon Mantle is hot and hoarded. .. |

Gut shot
Tack hole, Schmack hole. How about a shotgun blast hole? Got this and several other similar E90-1 cards a couple years back from a net54'er (hi Paul) who picked them up in the 60's from hobby legend Goodie Goldfadden.

Another favorite, this time a tough to see stapling (not the print dot near his eye).

How about a set that was ISSUED with staple Holes!
Hi Guys:
Here is a set that the cards ONLY come with staple holes! Dad's Cookies Cards were issued by stapling them onto a bag of cookies. You would think TPG's would take this into consideration when grading them, but they will only ever be graded as Authentic or a "1" Just picked up a few if anyone is interested in getting one for their team, player or type collections. Anyone have the "coloured" album they reference on the reverse? Last edited by whiteymet; 12-16-2015 at 11:42 PM. |
