Mrs Ward at her not so best.

Great thread with some amazing images! Here's a circa 1888 trimmed cabinet of Jim Kennan, Cincinnati Red Stockings

Bruce,
Nice Lone Jack!

I picked up this one at the National from a board member.

I'd be lots happier if Comiskey weren't in this set.

I love the Comiskey Bob :D

Comiskey
 

The card is fine. It's the man I object to.

Interesting Old Judge
 

What is on the back of this Old Judge is as interesting as what is on the front.

The back has a stamp portraying at-the-time Presidential hopeful Benjamin Harrison and his Vice-Presidential running mate Levi Morton. Wish it was more centered and darker.

Found a set of these on ebay a while back...

Awesome set. I cringed when I saw all of those "floating" cards in the holders. Have you thought about getting them re-holdered like the Anson and Ward so they don't move around and get dinged up?

Awesome piece Kevin!

So I guess you voted for Harrison? :)

Who Do You Think I Am...
 

...Ted Zanidakis? :D

I guess I am a Comiksey fan because I am a Sox fan. I also love readin about how he ticked off the Cubs franchise :D

Bump...

Hey Kevin......
 

Neat Old Judge August Kloff / Ben Harrison card.

And yes, I'm old enough to have voted for Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and perhaps Ben Harrison.


Best regards ole buddy,

This Comiskey is already listed but my wife just bought it for my birthday and this thread hasn't been updated in awhile; its not in my hands yet but she paid for it. And thanks to Phil Garry for helping my wife (for the second time now!). Phil - next time, choose a Police Gazette!

Nice cabinet, Rob! :)

It's been awhile since there has been a post to this thread so I'll add my two Clean Sweep winnings....

Pfeffer could put somebody's eye out with that mustache.

Picked up a couple more from the B&L Auction:

N172 Anson
 

Just picked up this little beauty :D

Also enjoyed this pickup

Haddock wanted in.

My one year anniversary present from my wife - thanks Phil & Kevin...

Nice, she set the bar high on the first anniversary. Can't wait to see what you get for year five? Stick around awhile, you might get an Old Judge complete set by the 50th anniversary!

Nice! I hope you got her something better than flowers! :)

I hand her my credit card and tell her to go buy a watch, she loves watches. Regretfully, since her birthday is Dec. 29, she decided to combine the anniversary gift with her birthday present. First anniversary and I don't like this trend! She already bought herself her Christmas present earlier this month.

This month my collection increased by a Buchner, hers increased by a Michael Kors and a Gucci. She's the big winner in the household pickup thread!

Sounds like you might be the winner somewhere else though, hint, hint, nudge, nudge :)

Nice Anson

A few Scrapps

These are cutouts from The Sporting News circa 1898-99. This is the closest I have ever come to seeing an issue of The Sporting News from this era.

Nice cards everyone!

This n43 Geo. Miller arrived today. For those of you that saw this on ebay, it does not have a Fish from American Waters back as was shown in the ebay auction.

Number 7 Cigars Kelly
 

There have been some great items since this thread has been resurrected!

Great Kelly card, Bruce.

Cool piece Jerrys....great condition.



Chuck:nice collection you have. (like inclusion of Fidrych:still remember him talking to the baseball in the 70's.....Also my all time favorite basketball player:Dr. J)

Great baseball currency, Jerry. I think that is the rarest one in the set.

- Ted - According to the Times Picayune June 15th, 1869 - before The Red Stocking Team returned from their tour on July 24th, they beat the New Orleans Southern BBC at Louisana Baseball park featuring these 2 players (Posed July 5th, 1870) : Charley Brandenburg & Tom Sims (1B & Pitcher for the Southerns) This was the Champion BBC in Lousiana at the time.

Thanks, Joe! Gotta love the Dr. J card with the 'fro. :)

Chuck

Man I still catch myself wanting to wear the tall ole tube socks.

Now, guys are wearing these little socks that are just below ankle level. Back in the 70's, you would a had a fist mark on your face for wearing those.

Other social male "NO WAY" in 70's:earrings, pink shirts:rolleyes:

Just won this last night, now just two left to complete the set.

Addition from a couple months ago. 1866 Lowells of Boston.

That's one of your best CdV's Gary.

Nice pick-up, Michael.

Nice CDV Gary. Nice Mayo too....Mcap...

I guess this one fits here now.... Still not collecting 19th century unless it's something I find interesting. I am up to 2 cards now!!

http://luckeycards.com/phunc1860sphotomaster.jpg

Leon- As Barney Fife would say, "Nip it in the bud." The allure of the CdV will become too strong and you won't be able to fight it off. Save yourself before it is too late. You don't want to end up like me, do you!

Hey Gary
Even if I wanted to get back into 19th Century stuff I don't have the resources to do it. That being said I have told several people lately that the little 1860s CDV is one of my favorite cards now. It has really grown on me. In doing some searching it's very difficult to find other 1860s-1870s baseball games in action.

Game action CdVs are rare by any definition. That's a real cool CdV you have.

I'm a Boston guy, so maybe I'm biased... but that is a kickass Lowells CDV. They look like a bunch of tough guys with all the bats... great pickup.

a couple 19th century pitchers...

from JK
 

Our friendly board member Jo.ann Kli.ne sent over these pics....and here is a bit of commentary on them-

"The team is the Red Apron Nine from 1886, or at least that's what's indicated on the back. I tend to believe that's true. I believe that this photo was taken with the women dressed as they played. Part of the reason I think this is because there is some baseball equipment and they are wearing similar hats. Mostly, though, it's because you can see, if you look closely, that they are all wearing aprons - their front skirt is a slightly different color than the rest of their dresses. Given that no one was plowing money into uniforms for female teams at this time, one of the cheapest ways to accomplish a uniform look would have been to wear aprons. Like, red aprons.

So I think they are wearing red aprons in this photo, along with hats and some equipment. And because of that, I think that the photo shows them as they played. And THAT makes this one of the very very few images I've seen that shows women in full long-skirt uniforms. The 1866 Vassar photos (fairly well-known) also shows long skirts. But that's about it. Even by 1890, the Franklin Young Ladies Base Ball Club cabinet shows them in shorter skirts and leggings/stockings.

I think this is very cool for that reason - playing in long skirts!"
