E102 Cobb

That's a beautiful card Dan. Great image and color. It's my favorite Cobb pose so I really like seeing them and the e102 is my favorite one of all the different e sets that use this pose. Thanks for posting it man. :D

Here's another 1933 WWG card, sans français:

That is a nice image. I probably should be posting auction images instead of ones from my crappy scanner...but I'd rather have the card than the image. (I assume it is the same card, it's hard to read the serial number, but SGC pop says there is only one T4 Miller graded 60/5.)

Added: My daughter says I was being "sassy". That was not my intention. I just thought it was interesting that someone posted a card that I have in my collection. But the thread says "let's have a virtual card show", it doesn't say you have to post a card you own.

His candy helped him hit home runs? PEDS!

You are correct, and I apologize for posting your card. I quickly grabbed an image from a folder on my computer and did not realize I grabbed the wrong one. Here is the card I meant to show from my collection (and my trimmed one as a bonus). That said, you have a great card and I would love to discuss purchasing it if you ever decide to part with it.

Just in from REA. Some have argued Marsans and Almeida were early color barrier breakers.

No problem. That being said, your card looks as good as mine, and I imagine the downgrade was because of pencil writing of a number on the back, which pretty much all T4s have.

The Thorpe and Reds Fatima are both awesome!

I'm very happy with the color on this. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...15b8353959.jpg

This is kind of a niche thing, but so be it.

Pre-1900 Japanese baseball stuff is very rare. This postcard is dated 1891. It's the earliest baseball-themed postcard I've ever heard of, and it pre-dates the earliest known menko card (the most common type of Japanese baseball card) by six years.

Love Japanese cards. These are three uncatalogued examples from the 1920's if my memory serves.

Not breaking the 'one card/one post per day' guidelines...this is the front and back of one W517 card.

Love this card, not really sure why.

Great stuff everyone! This is one of my favorite cards in my collection. Love the colors and design.

Since there were some Japanese cards posted, here is my only Japanese baseball item. I think it is a high school team from the 1930s but I can't find the original documentation at the moment. It is 7" X 9" (and the back is, of course, the same size as the front but for some reason the scans came out as different sizes).

I have for some reason become particularly fond on this card in my collection. The scratch is on the case, so I am thinking I should get it reholdered?

Cool thread and great cards as always! I'm a few days late to the party but here's mine for the day. I'll start off with my favorite pre-war card/pose:

1950 Boy's Shonen premium of Kaoru Betto, Japan Hall of Fame outfielder for Osaka Tigers and Mainichi Orions. Later noted for his image being sported on Jeff Bridges' t-shirt in The Big Lebowski. Card is about the size of a T3.

T201s are annoyingly tall, but you can still display them in a binder. I put mine in cardsavers, take a sheet of card stock and cut out a hole the size of the card saver, and then glue some corners down to keep it in place. Slip the whole thing in one of those full-page protective plastic sheets. You can store them in the binder, keeps the card protected, and you can see both sides.

A new card for a new day.

That Jim Thorpe card, PSA 5. Wow ! Very nice. Looked at getting a copy while ago, gave up. But now ... want it, want it, want it.

IMO one of the nicest designs ever.

I can see why. That look speaks a thousand words. Really cool.

Really cool thread. Thanks to everyone for sharing. Seeing the variety of cards is amazing.

My contribution for the day.

Wanted to circle back to this one. Fantastic card Chris. One of my all time favorites. When you find a card, like yours, with bold colors, it is really striking. Watch out though. You'll find yourself wanting more with different backs. LOL Well done.

Nice DeVore Val!

I like that some Japanese items have made it to this thread, so here are two 1923 photos that I dig (I Masuda and S Tanabe).

King Carl. The Meal Ticket. In the 1934 All Star Game played at the Polo Grounds, Hubbell struck out five future Hall of Famers in succession: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin.

This is an advertising piece that was issued to promote both Base Ball: 1845-1871, Volume 1 by Seymour Church (usually called "the Church book") and a full-size Waddell picture (presumably without the advertising copy). I was wondering why Church chose Waddell to use (and why he was pitching with Los Angeles after already being in the majors for a few years) and the answer can be found here https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/rube-waddell/. Basically it was a contract issue coupled with his popularity in California (the book was published in San Francisco).

New day, new card. Apparently Evers was a redhead.

Probably the favorite card in my collection.

Those Cuban cards...Let me say this with an unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality

And a feisty one as well.

+1 on those Cuban cards. They are so cool! Here's mine for today. Hope you all have a "mello" weekend:
