Cards you like to show
 
For me it's all about seeing the cardboard. Would love to see your favorite, nicest, worst, rarest...whatever it is let's see some cards.

Not sure you can get a better Cobby but you can get other different and great poses...

No offense, Tony, but what was SGC looking at when they graded that card? They do realize that the corners were square when the card was issued and not round, correct? How could they give it anything other than a 1 or possibly even a 1.5, giving them the benefit of the doubt?

I think the Peckinpaugh qualifies as the rarest and the worst in my collection. I could only find info on 3 graded copies. But maybe I was doing it wrong.
The Caramel Cobb is my nicest. The Sporting News is my favorite. The last two took forever to find. I know they aren't pre-war. Still some of my favorites.

Loose definition of card but I rarely get to show this one off. Here's a 1903 Carl Horner of Monty Beville. He's wearing the first ever Yankees uniform and was a member of their inaugural squad. Might as well throw in a Bob Ewing for good measure:

Here is one of my favorite scans from a few years ago when I was trying to put 345 Old Judge cards in alphabetical order. I had to stop and step back to take a picture because it looked pretty cool laid out like that.

Being mainly post-war i love these LEAFS:

Here is the other, despite the wear, its pretty hard to come by
http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...255842&thumb=1

My only pre-war card i have currently and i showed it before.
Its my 1st Cobb, it was unique with double names top/bottom, and 'raw' making this a great buy.
Hope to add a few more pre-war cards in near future

If it weren't for the stories and the people - like Shoeless Joe, baseball would be too one-note for my liking......capturing his image either during or close to the black sox scandal.

Kenny:

Some of those Billiken cards appear to have black borders, never seen them before. Or are they part of the background that SGC has inserted to keep the card from moving?

Kenny Cole 05-08-2015 05:06 AM

Thanks John. I appreciate it.

Phil, all of the Billikens are standard - none have black borders. It must be the insert that is giving that illusion.

Kenny

Despite loving post-war, i seen some great looking one here so far and amazed by them.
That ghost stuff is bizarre by all means.

SAllen2556 05-08-2015 08:08 AM

Finally got these two this year. Charlie Bennett's history with Detroit is really interesting. I love the n28 set - just wish I could afford the Anson. I'm one of the weirdos who likes the '34 Goudeys more than the '33's.
And I'm drooling over that t227 Cobb - wow!

I know it's not pre-war .... BUT ... when I bought this lot on Ebay ... it was hundreds of ripped up little bits. (I only even bid because there were two 4 card sections). When I got it, I started to realize some of the pieces belonged together, and then more, and then more. Here is the final view (using every piece in the lot).

So not pre-war ... but loved the fun of solving a real baseball card jig saw puzzle!

Daniel, it is encased in an old glass dome paperweight, by a collector at some point. I have thought about trying to remove it (and have it authenticated - I'm about 50/50 on whether or not it's truly period), but I'm afraid it would destroy it. It's an interesting item, and displays really well, as is.
