I have only seen 1 E221 that was folded multiple times, and that is currently in Leon's collection. I don't think we can know if that was folded at the factory or afterwards.

Dan, it isn't large at about 4" long or so and wide enough for an E99/E100 or regular 1910 era tobacco card to have been in the package. I am unsure what this size chocolate would have cost maybe it was only a penny and the larger bars held the team cards, as some of the team cards specify the 5-cent packages had the team cards. Also, the team cards could have been folded once and then wrapped around the bar as well (like bazooka comics) but it has been years since I have held a Bishop's team card and can't really remember how thick they were and if that was possible ( remember them being pretty thin items). I have seen Leon's multi-fold example and it is my thought that someone after getting the card probably folded it that way to stack with their other Bishop's cards (e99/e100). Regardless of whether the team cards were in this size or a larger size it is safe to assume at least the E99/E100 cards came in this size package.

Hi Rhett, thanks for the information, I hadn't thought of wrapping the team card around the chocolate, that is intriguing. The team cards are about the same thickness as the e99/e100s, slightly thinner than a T206.

This came Wednesday. From the research I have done (albeit it may not be as thorough as some) it is the only one I could find in existence. Not sure if this pre-dates his e90-1 or the Colgan Chips, but I think this is the earliest known image of Joe Jackson (bottom right corner) on a "card", per se.

Thanks,
Greg

[freakhappy]

Sweet pickup, Greg...congrats!

Greg:

I looked for that W601 w/Jackson for a long time with no luck, it's one of my favorites. I don't mean to scare you but there are a lot of repro's out there of W601's, you might want to check yours closely to make sure that it is authentic. Depending on your source for picking it up, you may not need to worry. I have no reason to think that it's not good, no way to tell from a scan though.

Thanks Phil, got it from a very respected board member, I am sure it is fine, but thanks for getting my paranoia to an all time high

It all evens out:

Brian, I had my sights set on that trimmed Wheaties Bancroft. The trimming was supposed to scare you and everyone else away. I guess not. Congrats.

Greg - Beautiful composite! That example is the only 1909 Philadelphia AL team that I have seen. The W601 Team Composites were issued after the end of the season. I would assume that Jackson's E90-1 card was issued sometime during the 1909 season. His Colgan's Chips card was not issued until after he was traded to Cleveland.

None of the Sporting Life Team Composites are easy, but the ones from the later years (1907 on) are extremely difficult to find when compared to their earlier sets (1902-06).

Congrats on a great pickup.

[Luke]

I've been wanting a Keeler portrait with a tough back for awhile. Got this crease-free beauty from a board member (thanks Mike).

[yanksfan09]

Always loved this Wheat image....

[cardsfan73]

I am way behind on scanning but want to share some fun additions to my modest but growing Pre-War St. Louis collection. All cards in the first group were purchased from board members (thanks!) the T206 Dineen is my first Old Mill back.




The next group all came from the most recent B&L auction, my first time bidding with B&L and it was a great experience!

[scooter729]

Tough D303 Eddie Plank.....

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up another B18 catcher for my collection. B18s are probably the best value in pre-war material.

[Jobu]

Nice card, I love that image!

[Epps]

[Vintagecatcher]

Finally scanned this Oscar Stange T207 that came in last week.

A few more pickups, not all in hand yet:

[clydepepper]

One of the best left-handed pitchers of his time:

1922 W573 WILBUR COOPER.jpg

[kamikidEFFL]

Been on a bit of a T213 kick lately. Nice lil change. The Doyle has a slight name at the top of the card as well which is pretty cool.

[Jobu]

Just got my first Cobb and my first T215 from a board member and I am thrilled to own both.

[RCMcKenzie]

Looks like I forgot how to post pics, will check back and edit later, gang. Rob

[clydepepper]

Leon- I don't know if you have noticed but...it is amazing how many of our purchases this month have been 'In House' (ie from other members)

We all sincerely THANK YOU!

Can I hear an amen?

[ullmandds]

bryan...great pickups!

[Jantz]

Shout out to Justcollectcards for the smooth transaction.

[Jobu]

Pete: Thanks!

Raymond: Amen!

[Robextend]

[jb217676]

Here are a few pieces from a large collection I purchased:

• 1913 Pinkerton Scorecards (Blank Back) Clark Griffith
• C.1938-41 Dizzy Dean and Gabby Hartnett Pins with Cubs Mini Pennants
• C.1940's Big Bill Lee Pin with Ribbon & Charms
• 1941 Chicago Cubs Spring Training Player Roster Pamphlet

Thanks Dave!

[Luke]

Got a couple cards I've been after for awhile. Super excited about the Joss, and the Brown is deceptively tough. I sold my creased copy over a year ago, and it took me until now to find one in nice condition that wasn't way overpriced.

The Isbell is by far the nicest 2 I've ever seen. I don't really understand how it graded so low, but I love it. Can't stop looking at it.

[ZachS]

[AMBST95]

Busy month this month. Here are a few of my pickups

[pcoz]

Thanks to Steve Sadler for helping me out with my purple set!

[Leon]

Lots of great eye candy so far this month guys.
Pete- Love the purple onesE94s.....that Cy Young is awesome. Congrats

[joeadcock]

1+ on the purple E94's

[RGold]

An important upgrade for me.
