I posted this new pick up in another thread, but it pertains to these. A new, to me, Joe D rookie :).
ps...I never realized some of the newspapers have different captions under the players, until now. Hmmm.. . |
Reading the caption, that doesn't appear to be a "1936" Joe D. More like a 1940? Unless they are counting his minors as professional. Otherwise, not sure why they wouldn't grade it, if they do the others. Maybe the top is cut too short?
update...doing a little more research it does look like it's a 1936. Quote:

Guess I can send in my Joe D.

It may be a long shot;
but most times, they are; I am looking for a Sport Stamp of: Johnny Dickshot! To add to my, IL ballplayers; from my home state. (Waukegan, IL) https://www.net54baseball.com/pictur...ictureid=34970 Ben "I love baseball history backstory; especially when it involves cards." |

I see that one on eBay has a different caption; not as good, IMO. Asking permission, of Leon or Adam; to take a snip of the Joe D. to put in my frame/collage in place of the Diamond Matchbook. https://www.net54baseball.com/pictur...ictureid=34848 Ben "I love baseball history backstory; especially when it involves cards." |

Actually as an obscure fact better than his nickname based on his heritage. Dickshot had a metal plate in his head from having it caved in by older kids throwing bottles while being bullied as a child. Those folks did not have it easy back then.

Just checked and my, "FOMWHMTYOB" card is expired. No wonder my posts lack that certain, "Dickshot" edge. |

I went through some online newspapers and thought I would add at least a partial checklist of stamps found in the Omaha Evening Bee News from around the beginning of July 1936 into September--some are repeated in the following morning's paper. Here is what I found--please feel free to add:
https://photos.imageevent.com/imover...arge/MJ890.jpg edited to add: Just noticed that Lou's bio says he is single and living with his parents, which had not been true for nearly three years when this stamp was published. |
Geez, the Omaha Bee-News, another one of these Sports Stamps newspapers I've never really heard of, and have never been able to find an example of for sale. Great info though, thanks for posting.

I hate to dredge up an old thread, but...I just bought an old scrapbook, from the year 1936, that according to what I can see from afar, has at least several Los Angeles Examiner baseball Sports Stamps, both loose and fixed. She be arriving this week. At the very least it appears to have "Goose" Goslin, Carl Hubbell, Gabby Hartnett, and Tony Lazzeri. There are others I can't identify, one is perhaps Jimmie Foxx.

I Hit The Jackpot With Baseball Sportstamps
10 Attachment(s)
Just got this 1936 scrapbook. Wow, it is LOADED with Baseball Sportstamps. Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Jimmie Foxx, Bill Dickey, Carl Hubbell and on and on and on. 90% The Sporting News, 10% L.A. Examiner, a great many All-Star Sportstamps. 4 are loose with clippings, never glued in. There are 60, all total. The scrapbook covers the 1936 season. I've got a ton of old scrapbooks. Never came across one like this.

Updated :
Does anybody have a complete list of all the newspapers which carried the "Sport Stamps" in 1936. List is now 13 ! Here's a current updated list I have ? Anymore to add to the list ? Detroit Times Boston American Sunday Advertiser ( Boston ? ) Buffalo Times Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph The Sporting News Chicago American Washington Herald Los Angeles Examiner Omaha Bee-News Atlanta Georgian-American (Minor League) Seattle Post Intelligencer The San Francisco Examiner |
Hearst promotion?
Quote:
The Sunday Advertiser was indeed the Sunday edition of the Boston American. Most of the newspapers on this list I recognize as part of William Randolph Hearst's publishing empire. He owned 28 major papers in 1935, and I suspect all or most Hearst papers included Sports Stamps in 1936. |
James, you lucky bastard, that is a FIND!
