Nice Ware's cards!!! Only wish I knew about them years ago.... would have ventured into the basement of the old place (unseen of course) and see if any were tucked away in corners...

This is an awesome thread. Here are a few post cards

I know this one isn't baseball but it's still a scarce prewar card.

This is an e79 with a rare red back instead of the common black back.

1943 m.p & co. (r302-1)
 

Not 'Pre' but not 'Post'

I agree :)

Don't see this too often.

These are neat, too. Kind of get to see the making of a card process. I believe these were rejects of the plan for Obaks.

Cool
 

Those are cool Ed...Jerry

OK, these 1943 M & P Co. strip cards are not really scarce....individually.

But, how often do you see an original (8-card) uncut strip ? ?

Thanks for bringing this back - nothing better than posting, and look at, rare cards on a Corona Thursday:

T213-3 Factory 8, Overprint
T214 Victory
T215 Pirate
Ju-Ju Drum

Ireland
 

I finally got my scanner working again, so I can post some pics.

I always enjoyed the Hugh Duffy pose that is much more commonly seen on a V100 Willards.

You dont see a ton of E123 Curtis Irelands...and a HOFer to boot:p

Another E123 Curtis Ireland:

I've got one of those
 

Very nice E123, George.

I prefer my type cards to be Washington players:

Awesome card, Val...Here's the J Wood cabinet card of Deasley...

Here' a Newsboy cabinet to keep the 19th century theme going

Adding to the Exhibits and 19th Century theme.

I just noticed you sent me a PM. But my responses keep failing. I think I have finally figured out that your in-box is full and not accepting messages. By the way, you're not saying my E123 is not a Washington player -- are you?

George, yes my inbox had reached its limit - sorry about this - I have now fixed this situation.

I recognize your nice E123 as being Stanley "Bucky" Harris, the "Boy Wonder." I'm looking for one of these cards or the V100 with the identical pose for my 1924 Senators collection.

Blank Back Pinkerton Post Card Size

National Copper Plate Wagner (rookie)

Wow! Super cool and nice. Congrats

Anyone wanta Trade Card(s)? (:

CDVs can count too!!

Over the years I have met a very few " Type Collectors " The first one I met had a goal of collecting one card or "Type " from every baseball set before 1920. He was very different from most of the other collectors who collected sets of cards. He sold or traded all his doubles in pursuit of his goal.
Another subset of the true Type collector were the collectors who kept Type albums. I knew quite a few collectors that did this but very few that identified themselves as type collectors.

My goal before abandoning it was one of every baseball ACC numbered card before WWII. I was only a few away when I liquidated and started over. I still love types but won't be the completist I was.

,

Three scarcer singles from my #5 type collection, 1886 N48 & N508 lady baseball players and 1931 Diana Cigarerras. Found two of these at past Nationals and one of the lady baseball players on eBay. Don't plan to part with them anytime soon!

Is it a card?
 

It’s a fan for a fan

Some 1924 Diaz Cigarettes:

love this one...it cost me more to buy it the 2nd time.

Scarce Pre-WW2 Type card
 

Here's a rare pre-war type. The problem is we really don't know what type it is... Known as "Colgan's Chips Square Proofs". (Colgan's Chips Daubert for comparison purposes)

Another Colgan square "proof". Would love to know more about these and if they truly were proofs.

Another "Fan for a Fan"...

W636 Sun Pictures Ruth
 

Resurrection of an old thread.

Here is a Ruth but no cards are known, that I am aware of.

https://luckeycards.com/pw626sunpicruthandmixx2.jpg

One of my favorites
 

WT Cobb

:eek: Damn Dan. btw, is that unique or are there other known Cobbs?

1923 Fleer
 

asphaltman, Dave Fast, posted a 1923 Fleer card earlier. The W515s are not hard to find but finding them with a Fleer back is pretty tough. And I think it is still unknown if all the W515s can be found with a Fleer back.

My additions to this thread may be more mainstream than the rest, but they are pre-WWII and are rare:

1904 Allegheny Card Company 1/1:

'Double-Walter' from Leon's Type Card Auction:

The Hand-Cut Versions of 1941 Play Ball are supposedly much rarer:

Jeff, two Monarch Typewriter postcards??????????????? Surely you must be willing to part with one of them! Please.

Keeping it going

And One More
 

Another one of these shown earlier, but here's my example

I really enjoy this thread....

This card and tin were from outside the hobby. Pretty sure the card came in it as they were together....

https://luckeycards.com/pe270redsteinfeldt.jpg

HA Johnson with Baby Doll's John Hancock to boot.

Not as scarce as many on this thread, but still not plentiful - 1912 E300 Plow's Candy of Dahlen.

Brian (shown is the extra small back version)

A Type
 

Thank you Kawika

Attachment 410543

Picked this up from the BST. A 1947 Champ Hat premium I hadn't seen before.... 8 x 10 blank back

https://luckeycards.com/champshats.jpg.

-

Leon, here's another 1947 Champ Hat premium - wish it was autographed. I'm thrilled to have it because Vernon was one of my 2 most favorite Senators (Pete Runnels was the other) when I was a lad in the 1950's. For anyone who might not be aware, the notations below the players' names refer to Musial and Vernon winning the 1946 NL and AL batting titles, respectively.

1871 Troy Haymakers
 

1871 Troy Haymakers...."Clipper" Flynn

Ten of these 1871 Scorecards were issued depicting Troy's players. I have had (or have seen 5 of them)......they are extremely rare.
