Little Rock--Southern League Question

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

I am really enjoying collecting the PCL, especially Obaks. Since I live in Arkansas, I also wouldn't mind picking up some of the Little Rock (or any other Arkansas-oriented) cards from the Southern League. It seems like Hart and Lentz are the only two players I have found cards of thus far. I have checked in with T206resource and some old Net54 threads. So far these are the only cards I would be looking at picking up:

T206 (SL)

Hart—Piedmont 350, Old Mill Black, Old Mill Brown (Probable), Hindu Brown (Probable)
Lentz—Piedmont 350, Old Mill Black, Old Mill Brown (Probable), Hindu Brown (Probable)

T213

Hart—Coupon Type 1
Lentz—Coupon Type 1

I can't seem to find any checklists for T209, T210, or Coupon 2 and 3 cards. Are there are any Little Rock/Arkansas cards in these or other such issues? If anyone can point me in the right direction to keep researching checklists and such, it would be appreciated.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Almost certain there are no T209 and T213-2 or later Little Rock cards. T210 would be your best shot. Not sure about T211. Wooo Pig!

Team is looking great. Really like Macon, Barford, Gafford and Beard in the starting lineup. Hopefully football will find a quality coach soon. WPS forever!

Given our experience at guard, it could be a good season. It would be great to make it to the second weekend of the NCAA tournament. Mike has a good recruiting class coming in next year as well.

Football is a different matter.
A search committee for finding a new AD was formed today. Bielema will probably be relieved of duty this weekend. Honestly, the whole thing feels like a mess and reminds me of the fiasco when we fired Stan Heath, briefly hired Dana Altman, and ended up with Pelphrey. Stay tuned!

Robert- There is a RRPC of the Little Rock team in the Southern League that dates from the 1909-14 period. I have the postcards for Little Rock and three other teams from that period. I will ask my daughter for assistance posting that PC in the next couple of days.

Please also remember that basketball is not a real sport. Only baseball and football count in the south.

I found T210 and T211 checklists and no Little Rock at all.

Other than Lentz and Hart in T206, is there anywhere else I can look?

Are you just looking for cards that portray the subject with Little Rock, or players that played for Little Rock at some time in their career?

Hey, Ed. I would really like to have cards with subjects portrayed with LR. Not sure there will be many options.

They are hard to find, but you might consider Little Rock RPPCs. There are some cool ones come up now and then.

A problem is that LR did not have a team from 1910-1914, a prime time of many issues.

Also, not to be a Debbie Downer , but Hart and Lentz don't have Hindu or Brown Old Mill.

That is a really cool postcard for sure. Thanks for sharing!

James/Jerry, the good news is that Razorback football can only go up from here, I hope.

Jerry, I knew you and your brother a little a long time back when we were kids. I knew your brother a little better since he was closer to my age. If memory serves, he and I were on the same baseball team at the Boys Club at one point. The research of baseball in and around Fort Smith (and/or elsewhere throughout thr state) would be a fun project if I ever had any spare time. Honestly, I don't know why it has taken me this long to develop interest in this area.

Robert and Jerry there has been tons of neat baseball research done on Arkansas baseball in the last ten years. A young man from Bryant and a dozen others have turned up lots of info. I would hope you both might try to attend the next meeting of the Brooks Robinson-George Kell chapter of SABR which will be in Little Rock either the last Saturday in January of the first in February. No need to be a SABR member just come and listen to some cool research.!

Mike, I didn't know anything about that. I will attend if I am able. Thank you for the info on that. I will Google the organization and educate myself. Thanks!

I just picked this up, it made me think of this thread. Figured I would bump it back up and share this photo.
