Some type 2 yorks wanted to show only Ruth but didn't know how to separate him from the others

Thanks Ed.

Craw is tough for SF to claim, going to HS in Pleasanton, and originally from the Peninsula (where I grew up). Think the last true SF MLBer was Tyler Walker, and last AS quality guy was probably Willie McGee. Meanwhile the East Bay has produced Jimmy Rollins, Dontrelle Willis, CC Sabathia, and the South Bay guys like Pat Burrell, Troy Tulowitzki, etc. Crazy how many early HOFers came out of SF proper.

Nice group Larry.

There you go, Ted! Nice!

I'm running out of prewar cards to show.;)

If you have little to no standards like myself, you will never lack having something to post. Here are 3 color variations from the W9316 set.

Sweet, and the autographed Raimondi to boot. Dig ‘em.

My ONE card for the day; another W9316.

Another card from the Jersey City collection.

Nice W9316 Schalk Tom...sometimes I like to post one card, but multiple examples of that one card. In my head I am playing by the rules.

Brian

I haven't seen these posted yet. 1869 Reds CDV with player names on back. 1875 Hartford Dark Blues CDV with Candy Cummings.

One of my favorites

All time top 10 favorite card

The 1933-36 Zeenut set(s) are known for having quite a few size projection variations, due to changes made between years (the years that cards were issued for these sets have not all been sorted out, because examples with coupons intact are needed for identification). Thus we have the 1933-36 lumping together of these cards as one set, instead of a checklist for each year. Here are a couple size variations for Art Garibaldi.

Brian

I've always been a fan of the different color variations.

Today we deviate from the usual:

RIP Los Angeles legend Elgin Baylor

Hey Gary,

I guess if you're going to do the W517 color variations then Babe Ruth would be the ultimate way to go. Very cool to see them all together like that.

Rules? When did we start with rules?

My card for today:

While were on the Basketball theme.........

Here is an uncut sheet of Hi # cards (#37 - 72) from the 1948 BOWMAN Basketball set. It includes HOFer George Mikan rookie card.

Lots of kids back in 1941 cut their Double Play cards in half. Less common was to change your mind after doing that, and glue them back together.

1921s...thanks BST....

A classic from a classic set.

I have not been posting long enough to be a rebel and post multiple cards, or postwar cards, so I will just go with one of my top ten (possibly top five) prewar favorites.

Those are two classics, Paul.

Beautiful card Mole.

Jiminy Cricket, that’s a nice Halla.

Barney Gilligan
 

If you have read "Fifty-nine in '84" (if you haven't, you should), you understand what Hoss Radbourn endured to win 59 (or 60) games with 73 complete games and 678.2 innings pitched. The 59 wins is a permanent (presumably) MLB record and the innings pitched is second all-time.

You also understand that Radbourn's decision to "pitch the rest of the season" meant that his battery mate, Barney Gilligan, would catch the rest of the season. Catching is difficult (and dangerous) today, but not nearly as brutal as it was in 1884. The physical trauma experienced by Gilligan was at least as difficult as that endured by Radbourn.

Gilligan eventually played for the Washington Nationals in 1886 and 1887, fortunate timing that allowed him to leave us this card.

This addition to Leon's two cards shown above completes the pre-WWII pitching triumvirate:

A Joe Wood, don't know how to make it up right.

Damn Larry, that's one of the nicest Piedmont stamps I've seen. Awesome.

Thanks, guys. Halla was kind of my gateway drug to Zeenuts and PCL cards in general. I had consigned some items to an auction and noticed Halla was also in the auction. It seemed like a cool card, so I used some of my proceeds towards buying it. I don't have a massive amount of Zeenuts, but they are an enjoyable part of my collection.

One of the few Negro League cards issued in the United States. Have any of you ever seen one of the 8 x 10 photos mentioned on the back of the card?

The time has come to unleash the 3/4 inch thick and shellacked Cracker Jack Plaque attack.

Sorry... post war... and not baseball

(duplicate post.. but now may as well use it for the black number variation)
