There's so much negativity everywhere. Post a smile!

Attachment 202310 How "bout this RARE T206 Sheckard Toking on a Pipe...I understand it had to be air-brushed out. Nice to know that kids were defacing cards WAY BEFORE I started doing it as a kid!!!

A few years beyond our pre-war cutoff, but the smile is too classic to not post it here....

Zach Wheat, Babe Hamberger and Dazzy Vance.

Hard to find T210's with a smile. Bunch of tough guys.

This sure made me happy.

Here's one of my new additions to show off again.

The Clown Prince of Baseball

Love his smile on this one. Wonder what he was thinking of?

Nice one , Derek!!

No smile thread is complete without Joe Martina

(I'd use his Diaz image since it's the same but I can't find a Val post with it)

David,

Those are UNREAL !!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely made my day.

.......... I can never figure out if this a smile, or just gas :rolleyes:

Attachment 202335

There is an interesting Forbes article on the power of smiling and it talks a bit about sportscards and smiling!

Peace, Mike :) :o :D ;) :rolleyes: :cool:

Hi Jack - Here's "Oyster Joe" Martina (along with "Smiley" McGrew), as per your request:

That Leafs photo is perfect for this thread, David. So nice.

Saw that Cobb comin' a mile away, Jeff. Never get tired of seeing it.

In my limited collection, it's actually tough to find a pre-war smile.

Late in his managing career:

First thing I thought of when I saw this pic...

Connie is mostly smiling

A pair of Burke RDM studio Tony Lupien photos:

Not baseball related but it is quite the smile.:D

It seems like a good time to resurrect this thread.

contemplated - way back when - posting an image (okay, a google search image) of a literal "sh!t eating grin" via typed search, but...as I understand - and rightfully so - there's repercussions, so I refrained from doing so, again - way back when - (in any case, words to the wise: *think* before posting O/T or offensive/off-color stuff)

there's a time and a place for such doings, and it's NOT here on Net54...just a reminder to *think* (myself included) before you post content, as it may p!ss off one - if not many, and NOT worth the questionable/feeble attempt at humor.

unlike some of the others, this is a truly a *great* board, with minimal restrictions...nothing I can personally (scan-wise) contribute to this particular thread but loving all of the above posts - keep 'em positive/on-topic, and coming...happy collecting!

DS

Most of my T206's, no one is cracking a smiling...here's a few (semi-smiles).

Does this count as a smile.

The other Dimaggios...and a few more smiles.

The "other" Dimaggio brothers, and a few more smiles:

And that the whole Ruth, and nothing but the Ruth

Look closely...both the left AND right sides of this card exhibit rather large gaping smiles.

Brian

"Oyster Joe" Martina pitched for 21 years in the minors and 1 year in the majors, for the 1924 world champion Washington Senators. He had a 6 - 8 won-loss record in 1924 and pitched 1 scoreless inning in the World Series. Please ignore the McGrew card, as I don't currently have a separate scan of Martina.

Another one...judging by the crinkle of his eyelinered and mascaraed eyes I would surmise that Ewing is smiling underneath his Walrus.

Brian

Del is almost smiling

These gentlemen arrived today! Wheat and Donovan sure look content. Hobby may have some mixed emotions...

When I first read the title, these 3 immediately came to mind from my 52 Topps collection. :D

I can't help but wonder if Wiggs on the Obak card might have had the same mother as "Oyster Joe" Martina, or is it only me that can see the similarity.

Thanks! He's definitely a keeper.

Good Luck with yours - I'm sure he or she will be almost as cute...almost.

I know I am responding to a post nearly a year old, but I still had to respond. At one point I made it a goal of mine to find a smiling Landis photo, I was happy to add this to my collection when I found it.

A pair of Robins ?

...or probably they were Dodgers by 1935....
