Here's an example of the more-frequently-found D382 Tarzan Bread cards without the "Trophy" sticker.

New pickup.

Here's one

Nice card, Jay.



Here is a Page's Pittsburgh Milk Co., Doerr

Just got it in a trade with Val. (Thanks Val!)

Jay, very nice Haffner's of the Babe - such a tough card! I'd trade my first born for a Haffner's Bread of Sam Rice! Here is my one Haffner's card:

Thanks Val! Not a bad player on yours.

Great stuff guys! Love those Haffners and that Bobby Doerr is sweet too, haven't seen that one.

A tough one of Ty

Another one coming in.

I know this is stretching the Pre-WW2 specifications for this thread (but being from 1943 and 1944 these ain't no Post-WW2 issues), as well as the 'Bakery' designation, as officially these two cards are ACC classified as 'F' (Food), but I would argue bakers use flour in the baking process, so for the purposes of this thread I have unilaterally declared today as F340 International Centennial Flour Day.

Brian (the holes seen are the result of a yeast infection)

I'm still ticked at having learned after I submitted this WaJo for grading that SGC will no longer note Wool's Bread on its label.

Jim posted an example of a 1922-23 PB4 Kolb's Mother's Bread pin of Gilhooley earlier, but my existing scan of my 1920 Mrs. Sherlock's Bread pin featuring members of the minor league Toledo Mud Hens (mine is Joe Kelly, who had 3200 hits between majors and minors) also has the same Kolb's pin in it as well, so Mr. Gilhooley gets his bonus 15 minutes of fame. Which, if my math is correct, brings him up to a half hour of fame.


Brian (sorry about the back scans...my scanner isn't built for recessed items. At least it did a good job showing the pointy pins clearly, because on the front scan they are just blurs)

Another Mrs. Sherlock's Bread pin:

D311.. shown before...

Great pinbacks! Do you have a smartphone? I gave up flatbed scanners years ago and take all my pics with my cell phone.

I do, but unfortunately my smartphone is smarter than its owner. Fortunately 99.99% of the stuff I want to make an image of is uber-flat, so the scanner works pretty decent for my needs.

And here is hand-scanned, hand-trimmed D311.

Brian

I find my iPhone to be super simple with pics and uploading them to forums such as this. Maybe give it another try?

Most members say the pics on their Iphones are way too large to upload. You don't have that issue?

And another card...with Aldon Candy overprint not even mentioned. Oh, the travesty of it all!

I’m probably one of those that’s guilty of uploading pics that are too large for the page.

Leon, what a beauty!

I love threads like this because I like seeing cards. Here's another Clark's Bread to bring this thread back to page 1:

A half-belt Standard Biscuit of a Gavvy.

Brian

I love how that pose makes it look he just swung so hard he tore a hole in the card.

It does...I believe Cravath was swinging an early prototype of the Torpedo bat.

Brian

Love that Weaver, Leon..... LMK if you ever wish to part with it!

Here's one of my favorites:

Love that Speaker pose Jim, the Collins-McCarthy back is in my list.

Spectacular cards, Jeff!

Nice SB card of Speaker, Jim. I've never seen a SB card with an off-kilter back like this one.

Hopefully, folks aren't tired of seeing D327 Holsum Bread cards. Here are both back variations of Sam Rice's D327 cards:

Dang, you all have some really great cards (I especially like the Pipp and Johnson w551’s).

A variety of backs on these D310s. From the BST not too long ago...

To bring this thread back to the first page, here are two Sam Rice's toughest rookie cards:

Now that Val has revitalized the bakery card thread with a couple of exquisite servings of Rice, it would be wise to likewise rise to the occasion with this D304 Mathewson from Brunners Bread.

D323
 

Tip Top (a bit after WWII )

Cornelius McGillicuddy

A few more....from the BST some years ago..

If I had to choose between Leon’s two D311 SGC 3’s, I’d take Arrelanes every time - beautiful card!

A couple more Gassler's Bread cards:

But if you were to instead choose the Melchoir, you could always utilize the below specially created and highly appropriate Obak back to paste onto its backside.

Brian

Lol!

A member named Joe D. (in 2007) posted this creation, and myself and perhaps a few others saved the image because it is just so spot-on hilarious.

Brian

Brian, do you suppose Melchoir sang "Skip To My Lou" as he skipped around the bases?

I believe he also added "My Darling" as he reached each base.


Brian

It is said that opposing players were not amused when he greeted them rounding the bases.

Nice Wool's card. The other's above aren't bad either.
Too bad SGC doesn't grade them any longer, or at least, with the Wool's designation.

My lowly example below-
