show your 19th century cards
 

Happy new year. Apparently less than 10 graded SGC and PSA examples of my N172 Comiskey exist. Show me some other rare 19th century of even common 19th century it's all eye candy to me.:D

Happy New Year to you (and everyone) as well, Zach. ^^^ Awesome cards to start the thread.

Awesome Ewing! I am still seeking that one for my collection

If the World ended at the stairs going up to my room this would be considered the world famous Larry Corcoran collection, shown for the first time all together

my 19th century..

Lets bring some Buchners to the (New Year's) party

Jay:

Those are some nice Buchners, the colors are so bright. Most that I have seen are pretty dull and washed out looking.

Here's a couple of colorful 19th century items

Bob & Kenny:

Those groups of 19th Century cards are way too nice for one person to own, can I take a few off your hands?

The scan doesn't really show it, but in person these are really spectacular:

Thanks for the nice comments. Here's a few more. The team photo with Sol White is obviously not a card but it's pretty nice so I thought I'd post it.

Some more HOFers.

Wow!
 

Truly dazzling display of cards, gentlemen. Haven't seen one in the thread so thought I'd add a recently acquired Kalamazoo Bats.

Once upon a time, I considered trying to get N172s of all of the Canadian teams. I abandoned the idea early, because of how difficult the Toronto players are. I'm guessing a certain London player was going to be just as tough...How many Corcoran variations do you have with London, out of curiousity?


Great cards all!

Regards,

Richard.

Great cards everyone!

A few more-

8 of the 34 are London, 5 of the hands at chest pose and 3 of the hands at shoulder. They are very tough to find, I believe I have all of the ones I've ever seen, don't remember any getting away but I could be wrong. Also the other London player, Pettee is very hard to find. I won one many years ago off ebay and since then I've seen 2-3 of him on London

I don't have scans of the Scrapps but here are the few others I own.

Bruce:

The photo quality of the Chickering Duffy is outstanding!

Anyone know what ever happened to this 27 foot long bat? It would be hard to misplace something that large. I wonder if it still exists or if it became firewood.:(

That's a really cool display, Greg! Glad that you left it intact.

Not the greatst condition but glad to have them

Great stuff everyone, Bruce amazing cards. :eek:

WOW, those Delahanty and Anson cards make a fabulous 19th Century collection all by themselves........

What Phil said. That Delahanty is AMAZING!!!

Yeah, I had to clean the drool off my keyboard after seeing that Delahanty Wonk..

Once again some amazing cards in this thread!

Thanks guys for the kind words one of my fav cards. Here is a bigger scan..

http://photos.imageevent.com/piojohn...Bigper20Ed.jpg

BTW is it just me or is the Ewing & Mascot like the best card ever? Gee I really like that card!

John

I saw the Ewing/Mascot in a magazine when I was 9 and I said I had to get that card. Only took me about 20 years to finally get it and it's not going anywhere. When I found out there was a Williamson/Mascot card too it took me about 3 days to get it because I found out about it when it was listed on ebay and had to have it.

That Alexander Cartwright is awesome. And that Delahanty too. Those were my favorite two. Beautiful cards everyone. Thanks for starting this thread - always like taking these guys out to look at....

i want that delahanty!!!

From my signature...
 

Wow Marc, that's cool!

Thanks Peter. Those 173s are awesome!! Probably my favorite regular issue from any era.

So many great cards here, what an enjoyable thread.
Here are my two other vintage supplement displays -- I don't know when they were put together, but I've had them since the 1960s.

Greghttp://www.baseballbasement.com

Wow those are great displays!

Two more fantastic pieces, Greg!

This is what I hoped to see in this thread some awesome rarities. Peck and Snyder, N284, N184, rare old judges, 1870s cards, I am sitting at my computer with a piece of drool coming out. This thread now made me want a N284 O'Rourke hands on thighs.

I hope the pics keep coming!

OJ
 

were the OJ's made before the ZOOM feature on cameras?

The first zoom lens was invented in 1902 and patented at the same time by Clile C. Allen, so back in 1886-1890 there was no zoom used

Since They've Been Mentioned
 

Here's the N172 Williamson and Ewing with mascot cards as well as a Warren Studios CDV of early star Cal McVey.

19 century
 

Incredible cards everyone, and plenty I have never seen before. Some of these are as foreign to me as the shiny new stuff. I have hundreds of Pre-WW2 cards, but only have these five 19th century examples in my collection, and I think they are pretty neat, flaws and all.

Scan's a little fuzzy but this is a 1898 Spalding Baseball Guide of the 1897 Louisville Club with Honus Wagner:

Several have asked me ...... why don't I have these cards graded ?

My reply everytime simply is ...... why should I, I love flipping thru my album and enjoying these beautiful gems......the way they were meant to be.

Furthermore, during the past 26 years (thanks Barry Sloate for the 42 - N162's you sold me in 1985), I have put together another 2.5 sets of these
in the process of Up-Grading this set. So, why do I need a Grading Co. doing what I have already done ?


TED Z

Those are some mighty nice Old Judges, Ken. Especially like the Pud Galvin, that's one of the tougher ones to come by.

Love the N175 Conner Brian!!

Lots of nice cards but this Chickering has to be my favorite. Amazing!
