[redmansam]

I'm trying to identify the team designations on a few and acquire one or more.

Acquire: Dick Hoblitzel (if he's a Cin.Red)

Learn team designation: Al Bridwell
Jean Dubuc
Kid Elberfield

I appreciate any help if you have any of these players.

Thanks,Len

Are you sure you not thinking of the 1923 German set?

Hi,

Here's a sample of the Bridwell stamp. They are from 1909-1910, listed as German Baseball Stamps in the catalog. Bridwell is New York. Dubuc and Hoblitzell are Cincinnati for sure. Don't know about Elberfeld.

There are some players that are found on two different teams. It believe that the ones with one name on front are a different series than the ones with the two names on them (although I never paid attention to which one would have been produced first). I have seen a Spike Shannon (double name) with New York with whom he actually played, and then I currently own a Shannon (one name) with Boston, a team he never played for, nor did anyone lese with the last name Shannon. Both versions had the same image (although there were some minor differences between the two).

I stand corrected wow that looks like a cool set I will have to look them up when I can get to my guide. Is it a large set any big names?

Near as I can tell, this is Warren Miller, whose ML career consisted of 85 AB split between the 1909 and 1911 seasons in Washington. Not exactly a high-profile player.

Neat little obscure stamps...(note different pose than Elberfield above)

[Bridwell]

Yes, there are lots of big names in the set. I bought this book where somebody had 'stamped' a bunch of them. Note Cobb, Matty, McGraw, Speaker, Plank and Jennings on this page.

Thanks to all for the info. This leaves only to determine the team for Jean Dubuc.

Hi Len,
Dubuc is Cincinnati.
