Love the T3 Cobb, beautiful looking 3

I still can't get over that PC, Steve!

Guiheen
 

Bill - Nice Guiheen!

David

Really love the way you used the frames to border an old catchers mask. All I ever do with mine is put them in boxes and get them out from time to time. That looks great.

Wow! Nice pickup Steve. Does that complete that set for you?!

Richard.

Thanks Richard.

Yes, the set of 12 is now complete!

Man that's impressive. Congratulations!

Richard.

I really like these cards and the George Millers, although tough, are becoming more affordable for the Hall of Famers.

Good to know.:D

Thank you to you both!

Thanks Matthew. 12. I picked up 4 a couple of weeks ago, these 4 Sunday on ebay and I had 4 others.

Thanks Peter and Jimi. The backs are all clean and nice on the 4 cards. I agree that the 2s are nicer than the 3 which had some color flecking.

Well, with Sam Breadon being on the pre-integration committee's ballot. I decided to pick up this 1931 Metropolitan Studios of him just in case. Yeah, it looks like hell, but it was cheap and the only one I could find. I also picked up the 1962 Topps Ruth card with Ruppert on it. Although, I honestly have no idea what are the first "cards"(loose term) of these guys...

A couple new ones.

Thanks Doug (Phillies*phan)

T205 Master set now 1 card away
 

I just picked up the Wilhelm "suffered" card. Im working on a T205 Master set which is every card in the set including all back variations. And at least 1 card from every brand/factory.

Just 1 card to go, but I am not sure I will ever get it. The Hoblitzel "no stats" might just be to scarce and expensive.

Here is my latest addition:

T205
 

Congrats on the t205 adventure, and best of luck on the last card find! I'm very jealous!

This beauty just showed up Monday. It was nice to come home after work and find it on the table. I've wanted one of these for a long time.

Thanks,

C.1915 Babe Ruth Real Photo PC
 

Just got this, thanks Jeff! This is the only one known of its kind, and 1 of 4 different Real Photo PC's in this C.1915 set.

Pete- I just sent you an extensive PM with some history on your great Ruth PC, photo taken at Majestic Field in Hot Springs, AR. With the current PM problems let me know if you did not get it and I will try a different method.

Pete, that is an amazing PC of Ruth!!!

can I get a copy of that too? Sounds very interesting.

+1

There shouldn't be anymore PM problems as of now. Thanks for helping. And a few more new pickups.

Oh heck why not. As many of you know I am SABR geek so seeing something like this is great fun!

The photo PC is a shot of Babe at Majestic Field in Hot Springs, AR and is thought to be from Spring Training in 1915 or 1916. Majestic Field was located at the site of the current Boys & Girls Club and a baseball field sits on the very same site though for 50 years a swimming pool was at that location.

Majestic Field was created in 1909 following an argument between the Red Sox, Pirates, Dodgers and Phillies over the use of Whittington Park Field or Ban Johnson Field which was located near the downtown area at the north end of the trolley line. The Red Sox who stayed at the Majestic Hotel built their new field at the south end of the trolley line and named it for their hotel.

Part of each team's agreement with the city was free transportation on the trolley system.

A decade or so back this series of PCs turned up in a auction, perhaps on eBay? A reproduction of the set made it to our local Advertising & Promotions Commission which has done a wonderful job of promoting the birth of Spring Training here in 1886. Each year they issue a set of postcards with images of our history, there have been a dozen or so Bill Clintons and about 6 or 7 Babe Ruth and Honus Wagner issues. The PC Pete has which is amazing was one of the images reproduced years ago along with the others in the set.

This past March we launched the Hot Springs Historic Baseball Trail, a series of 27 large cast plaques honoring specific sites around town where significant baseball events occuered from 1886 to 1952. Some of the sites in incude each of the five fields used and such events as Ruth's 565 foot homerun on St. Patrick's Day 1918. Through a barn storming tour with Campanella and Robinson in 1952. By the way Ruth historian Bill Jenkinson sites the 1918 Ruth homer as the true turning point in Red Sox leaderships decision to let him play full-time. One of my favorites is the plaque at the site of the high school gymnasium where Wagner taught the school team how to play basketball. Walter Johnson was reported in the local paper to have joined in after enjoying a morning of hot baths.

During the event in March the A&P hosted a luncheon to honor the SABR members from all over that helped put the project together including Jenkinson from Philadelphia, Tim Reid from Florida and Don Duren of Dallas. Each member was given a framed set of copies of the PC set that Pete's card is from.

I do want to stress that the copies of the PCs were more black & white than sepia and were much larger. Sorry for my rambling, hope some of you got some fun out of it.

no no's
 

kind of hard to follow the previous post but.. the 202 is new.

Holy cow! That is a great postcard! Are there images available of the others in the set?

Outstanding Ruth, Pete.

Ruth Real Photo PC Set
 

Mike, thanks for all the info. I really appreciate it!! Here are 2 of the other images. The last image I will post when I get it in my hands. It has Ruth in a black sweater, sitting on the bench with a couple of players.
