S74
 

Those S74's with the Red Sun back are as scarce as hen's teeth. I understand there is also a colored version, but I have never seen one.

?
 

Looking at the silks, I noticed that my actress silk, which I purchased as a S72-3A, has the exact same back as the 2 baseball silks, which I thought are S74's.

Any idea's on this?

They say Baseball-Actress Series on Satin.

Thanks

Just got out my American Card Catalog.

Burdick gave them separate designations but noted under the S74s that they were issued with S72-3.

Looking through the catalog, I suspect he did this because he seemed to have a thing for keeping different types of subjects separate when he could justify it. On this one I have to disagree given the text you point out on the back - it seems like these should have one designation, not two.

And let me add a few more cards too. :)

Nice Bryan. Love the Tinker. Here are few recently acquired

Damn, that Tinker looks like it was pulled from the pack yesterday!

Thank you
 

Thank you. that is interesting.

Nice ones Ryan...Jerry

Let's keep this thread going
 

T216 Peoples Tobacco back run. 3 Kotton backs, 1 blank back, Mino, and Virginia Extra.

Thanks Jerry.

Great run Rick!

I like the T216-3 Kotton Dooin. That is my favorite of the 5 backs. After consulting with other T216 collectors, I think the no factory Kotton should be re-classified as "Type 1" along with Virginia Extra.

Here are 2 new additions to my T213-3 set. Up to 42/70...The Bridwell is his 1919 "Houston" card, as he was the player/manager that year for the Buffaloes. Glenn Myatt was also on that team.

Great card, Scott. Can you post it in our collective set thread for the overprints?
https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=256145

Great cards Ryan. But you still need a Type-2 to complete your back run?

Nice overprint Scott.

Sean, yup, still need a type 2. Waiting for the right one. Clean Sweep had a Chance Batting A, but it wasn’t the one for me

Thanks Ryan and Steve.

Steve, I added mine to the overprint thread as well. Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

Some sure enough fantastic cards by everyone here.

If I had the cards in this thread I could easily retire. Awesome stuff.

The Type 1 from the Leon Luckey collection.

Another run
 

These are the baking/food cards that were printed in Louisiana.

1920 and 1921 Holsum Bread.

1916 and 1917 Weil Baking.

1916 Mother's Bread.

1916 Tango Eggs

Has anyone ever seen a T216 Kotton Cigs of Jennings with the "Never Go Out" back that the Gibson card below has?

Val, great cards. Jennings should have all 5 backs. Cards that are found with Virginia Extra should also have the Kotton no factory back. Both are thin paper and were released earlier. Cards that have a MINO back should be found with the other 2 Kotton Backs.

Here are 2 recent T213-1 pick-ups...in pretty nice shape for the set. By the way, I need a Bob Rhoades to complete the T213-1 set. If anyone has one, I will trade generously for it. Rob

Jennings
 

Val, I love your Jennings run!

Rick

They look great guys.

RC & Rick, thanks for your kind words re my T216 Jennings cards.

Here are 2 of my favorite LA cards, which I probably have showed sometime in the past:

Kick ass cards Val!!!

Another S74 Silks question
 

Hi folks,

Val showed a 1910-1911 S74 White Steinfeld silk with the Red Sun backing, and Bryan showed a 1910-1911 S74 White Marquard silk with the Red Sun backing.

No one has posted a 1910 Colored silk. These do not have a backing. The Red Sun Tobacco ad is printed on the front of the silk.

According to the Standard Catalog, the White version is slightly smaller than the color version.

Does anyone have one of the Colored versions that they can post?

Colored silks
 

Rick,

The S74 colored silks carry only the Turkey Red and Old Mill brand ads.

Patrick

Hi
 

Hi Patrick,

I am going by the Standard Catalog, which lists the Red Sun ads for both the Colored and the White S74's. It does state that the Helmar brand is not known to exist on the colored silks.

I hope you are correct, because that would be one less item for me to find for my Louisiana type set. :)

Rick

My Louisiana Type Card List - Updated
 

This is the Louisiana Type Card list that I have put together. If you look on page 2, you will see that I do not include any of the T215's in this list.

The first section is baseball cards that were printed in Louisiana.

The second section is baseball silks that were printed in Louisiana.

The third section is non sports cards and other sports cards that were printed in Louisiana.

The fourth section contains sets that I do not consider as being a part of a Louisiana type set.

Comments, suggestions, and ridicule are welcome. :)

S74 Colored Silks
 

Rick,

Here's an earlier thread on the subject.

Your answer is on post #4.

Hi Patrick
 

Hi Patrick, thank you. That is a very interesting thread.

I am going to change my type card list to reflect the theory that the Colored Red Sun silks do not exist.

I don't know if anyone is still making updates to the Standard Catalog, but this would be good information to pass along.

Thanks much! Rick

This is a great thread! The Tinker is a recent pick-up for me, he's ugly, but the rare kinda ugly!

Ooops- just realized the General Baking back is not a Louisiana issue since it isn't the Mother's back...my bad!

Mel Ott
 

This doesn't exactly fit in with this thread, but it is from Louisiana Baseball. I believe this is from mid to late 1950's.

Here's a couple more for the thread

Nice!
 

Scott, those are a couple of tough ones. Thanks for showing them!

Rick

I'm late to this party, but what a thread!

I'm looking for a D327-2 Holsum Bread of WaJo (with the back version that has the words "H. WEIL" close together) - can anyone help?

Tango Eggs with back stamp
 

I was looking at Zach's Louisiana Cards website and I noticed 2 Tango Eggs cards, Cobb and Oakes, with a numbered back stamp.

I am curious about these. Does anyone have a back stamped Tango Eggs card other than Cobb or Oakes?

In a way, the back stamps make sense. The two examples are low grade, like a card that may have been included with a carton of eggs. The 500 or so Tango cards that were discovered several years ago were mostly in decent condition and were probably never issued as premiums with the Eggs. (I am totally just speculating)

The images were stolen (borrowed) from Zach's excellent Louisiana Cards website. https://www.louisianacards.com

Another Interesting Player Combo
 

I picked up this Hoblitzell, Boston Amer., and added it to my Cincinnati version.

The Standard Catalog also shows a Boston Nat. version, even though Hoblitzell never played for the Boston Nat. team.

He played for Cincinnati from 1908 to the mid point of the 1914 season, when he went to the Boston Amer. team, where he stayed through 1918.

Had the recent good fortune to acquire this card and correct my previously mistaken post of the D303 General Baking Tinker!

Nice one, Andy. I'm not 100% convinced D303 is not, at least in part, a Louisiana issue, like T215...Here's a new T210 Pelican...

Nice
 

Nice!
