What a thread!!
 

Echoing what others haver said - just amazing cards from end to end, and certainly one of the most enjoyable threads of the year so far.


Here are my three faves today Don't think we've seen any T207's so far (what a surprise) ... someone has to stand up for that, right?

and Pirates because that's the only other collecting I do ...

W600s
 

Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker, Joe Jackson, Joe Wood, and Rube Marquard all started their major league career in either 1907 or 1908. They were not included in the SLC series. However only Johnson and Speaker became established regular players by 1910; the last year SL tried to revive their give-away cabinet card program by adding 57 new player names to the availability list. Johnson, Speaker and surely many other newer players were overlooked. We will never know how SL chose the players to be included in this series.

In researching the Sporting Life Publishing Company I contacted the Philadelphia Historical Society, the City Directories and the museums and libraries. Their only help was to furnish the Company's address changes through the years of its existence and the names and titles of the senior officers of the Company.

Some of the original content for my 2006 OC article was removed by the editor due to space limitations.

Do you still have the "unabridged" version of your article? I have all of the back issues from O.C. and have read that article more than once, but I'd love to read the rest of the article.

Cat,

WOW!!

Beautiful cards! I'll bet you could be displaying a lot more then 3 cards that would WOW us! Thanks.

Thanks Dan!

Just catching up on this unreal thread. Everything is awesome and the head is spinning. Just a few that stand way out for me:

M 101-6 Ruth from Craig. Nice!
TTT Big train from SB. Wow....wow.
The Waddell's from Jeff. Great cards.

Hope to see more!

Cat, and Scott B--I'm very jealous. Beautiful cards and great taste.

Darren:

Any of those three cards would be the cornerstone of almost any BB HOF RC collection, great stuff!!!

Sorry Brian I don't have the original submission. However it dealt mostly with a comparision of the SLC cards and the subsequent T3 cabinet cards; it included an advertising photo.

The above card is how I feel in comparison to the juggernauts that have been posted. Absolutely breathtaking cards fellas. :D

My real favorites:

Hilarious - that Spanky got spanked! Also love how it actually has "MK" written on to earn the qualifier. And then there's the issue of grading cost for a card that is less than worthless. Awesome in every way!

Cheers,
Blair

GREAT cards posted by everyone! Here are 3 of my favorite WaJos.

I didn't want Sam Rice to feel left out.

Wow nice Sam Rice if there's a Sam Rice collector out there he would really want that bad boy. ;)

John I presume your new T205s are now 2 of your 3 favorites?

ValKehl

That is a beautiful Orange Johnson.

Great stuff.

Three more of my favorites.

John - I like to think I am the only Rice collector in existence!!:D

Joeadcock - Thanks for the kind words. I really love the vivid colors of this WaJo Baseball Bats card.
Val

we're loosing traction here!
 

So, I will drag this back to the top

No need to show Old Judges, everyone should have the book. Here are three I like:

I think you should submit this for review for a bump.

WOW, Jay. I've seen a more traditional team cabinet photo of the 1887 Oshkosh team but not the composite that you have. Great item!

I'll go with three tougher ones today...

They're not the prettiest cards in the world, but on the tougher ones, sometimes you have to take what you can get.
