I have always liked the look of the Tom Barker game cards (it is much nicer than the back of its kissing cousin National Game cards in my opinion). A person could, if squinting the brain at just the proper angle, identify this as an ad back...the back serves as an advertisement for the Tom Barker Baseball Game.

That's a great one Steve...Jerry

Here is another (very rare) playing card back. I will show the front in the May pick ups thread one I get the card in hand.

Awesome thread and great to see all the advertising backs. Lou Gertenrich is absolutely one of my favorites. Been looking for the Ruth holding bird for years.

This E102 caramel card does not technically have an ad back (if it did identify the manufacturer on the back, then for crying out loud we would know who put out this set!), but it does have a neat cascading of player's names on its checklist. I always wondered about the decision to unequally place 11 names on top, 9 in middle and 5 on the bottom. I would guess it was due to length of player's names/teams...?

Steve Your T215-2 RED CROSS Lajoie is stunning. It isn't often that the condition of any RED CROSS cards are as nice-looking as your's. Here's my one and only RED CROSS card (a T215-1)...... https://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan...5miller50x.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...dCross25xb.jpg TED Z T206 Reference . |

Here are two of my favorite T-cards of Hal Chase. The T216 is a real "toughie". And, the T213-3 is his last T-card (issued in 1919).

Another game card with a nice 'back'. Of these two 1913 Nap Lajoie game cards, aesthetically I prefer the blue version, which seems to possess a crisper photo image, but the red is nice too.
I like vintage cards...I guess I am not too picky. Blank back cards are some of my favorites. Brian (cards not mine) |
This would probably be my favorite. I'd really like to get an example with the coupon offer for premiums one of these days...

I wonder how many of these prizes the Chas. Gross & Co. actually gave out:
