I haven't seen duplicates of these:

[nolemmings]

Haven't shown this one in awhile:



Only a Matty and a WaJo have also been confirmed from the set. Thanks again Lew.

It was really cool seeing that in your case at the National. Was it really for sale?

Yes and no. I put super high prices on my personal collection stuff, the first day, so people would quit asking me if they were for sale. Fortunately none sold.

I'll let you know if I ever see another. Took $4800 to pry this one loose from the previous owner, so if another one arises I don't know if I'd be in the market, but if I see one I'd tell you. Obviously, trying to put the '39 HOF set together, so that the focus right now.

very cool. So were they trimmed down? I can't tell if those are the natural borders or if that's what it looked like. Either way, super neat pieces. The beauty of the B&W photo with some color touches. Really neat.

I found information about these in a book "Baseball Treasures" copywrite 1992. Copies in the book have square corners, so these are probably trimmed.

They are dated 1909 on the bottom, along with The Curtis Advertising Co., Detroit size 4.25 x 6.75.

these 3 strip cards are each one of a kind!

[ValKehl]

one of a kind. There is no Gandil listed in the PSA & SGC pop reports - Gandil was uncatalogued when I won this card in a Festberg auction back in the 1990's. This WaJo is the only one listed in the PSA & SGC pop reports.

Added to Jay's checklist of known GQs at the National.

[MiracleBraves1914]

I'm sure there's another one of these out there, but for the life of me I haven't been able to find one. It's roughly 7x10 on heavy cardboard and I believe it was a window display sometime in the 1914-1916 range. Any of you guys know anything about it? Gotta love anything with Grover's dashing visage on it.

Sorry about bumping this card up again (well, not really ) but the amazing thing about this card is the RARITY. Last I remembered there was only a Xerox of the Bigbee card from the T231 Fan type, correct? And maybe I'm wrong, but the actual card has never surfaced-so- to have a T231 WITH Baker is so awesome !!!! It's like THE only card from such an obscure set-you are a lucky guy Leon. That would be one I could never let go of * unless the price was right* !!!!

Thanks again for showing that super rare card Leon !!!

Sincerely, Clayton

Hi Clayton
Thanks for the kind words. It's a cool card from a rarity standpoint. There is at least one other physical one known too, besides the Baker, #65 Larry Gardner. A hobby friend and (lurker) board member has it. I would guess I will have Baker until I sell my collection or otherwise quit collecting.

ps...cool Herpolsheimers, Jeff....

Wow, is there a scan of this one somewhere? I didn't even know the Gardner existed.

Nice- I didn't know about this Gardner either. Well, that makes 2 actual cards and a known Xerox copy (until it resurfaces).

Still makes it extremely rare. And Leon, something tells me you'll always be collecting

I've seen him in team photos with his Mexican League team but this is the only one I've seen of his own post card....
