Show a card with a tack hole in it
 

I got this recently and am surprised by how little the hole in the card bothers me. In fact, I find it kind of cool that a 105 years ago a kid liked this card enough that he wanted to put it on his wall so that he could look at it every day.

Let's see your cards that a kid decided to hang on his wall like artwork.

OK. I survived the first one. :D

Here's a Cobb Turkey Red that I once had in my set.
I didn't mind the tack hole as it had a half moon effect above Ty's head
and I thought if the hole wasn't there the card would have been graded higher & thus out of my budget

I got these two severely trimmed and tack-holed HOFers from completely different sources, and have always believed that they probably came from the same collection, 120 years ago. I like that.

T3s with tack holes are some of the best values around, IMO.

Agreed!

this card has 2 pinholes
 

I first mistook the pinhole over his right shoulder to be the moon.<br><a href="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/zouraspm/media/scan0024.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a47/zouraspm/scan0024.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo scan0024.jpg"/></a>

Pinhole At Seven O'Clock.....

Sometimes A Pinhole....

...sometimes a pinhole is the least of a card's problems...

..

Most of my T3's have at least one tack hole among other issues :)

My best tack hole card.

Love these - thanks to Tim

...the fountain-pen signature makes up for the hole...

....yes it does - beautiful

Multiple tack holes
 

I want your WAJO !!!! I would easily look passed the tactics mark as well. A great card Bryan.

Ganzel has one

I have a similar card of Jimmy Ryan. The hole really does not detract much at all from the presentation.

Thanks Josh - I will give you a shout if I need to move it.

Edited to add: Thanks to everyone who has posted so far, this is fun. Let's keep 'em comin'.

Two More OJ's
 

I really like this thread and wondering where all of the examples hung and the stories behind them.
I wonder if Kevin C.'s OJ got the "Authentic" based just on the pin hole alone.

It should not have (the Ryan card I mentioned has a number grade), but who knows? The card appears to be otherwise perfectly fine (size and back).

Nice card, tack hole or not.

Maybe a little more than a tack hole

Pinhole never bothered me when I owned this one.

This doesn't compare age wise with most of the cards that have been posted, but it appears to have taken 2 tacks to hold this one to the wall

My first 3 T206's, from about 1991. I still have them.

Would not have bothered me either. Great card.

What about this?


http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/...e27/33Foxx.jpg

Great thread. I'd love to know the stories behind all these cards and the kids that originally owned them. A guy I work with tacked a '90 something Sandberg to my bulletin board. When I first saw it I remember thinking, boy if that was a mid 60's card from when I was a kid, I'd be bummed out having a hole in a Sandberg card.

I would love to know the story behind the Magie I have. I imagine a boy with that card tacked to the wall or bulletin board in his bedroom. Was he a Phillies fan? Was Magee his favorite player? Did he know that his name was mispelled back in ~1909, but it was unknown in the hobby until the 70s?

tack holes
 

not a very nice place to put a tack-hole!

Tired of waiting for a high-end so I bought this one
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...MANTLE_NEW.JPG


....the pin-hole and uneven hand-cut edges probably saved me a few dollars but this version hardly ever becomes available anymore . I reckon Mantle is hot and hoarded.

On sleeve.

A "Pinch" hitter
 

Gut shot
 

Tack hole, Schmack hole. How about a shotgun blast hole? Got this and several other similar E90-1 cards a couple years back from a net54'er (hi Paul) who picked them up in the 60's from hobby legend Goodie Goldfadden.

Brian

damn tack cost this card a 4 or 5 grade
 

Lajoie of Orange Borders
 

Another favorite, this time a tough to see stapling (not the print dot near his eye).

How about a set that was ISSUED with staple Holes!
 

Hi Guys:

Here is a set that the cards ONLY come with staple holes!

Dad's Cookies Cards were issued by stapling them onto a bag of cookies.

You would think TPG's would take this into consideration when grading them, but they will only ever be graded as Authentic or a "1"

Just picked up a few if anyone is interested in getting one for their team, player or type collections.

Anyone have the "coloured" album they reference on the reverse?

This one probably belongs on the triangular defect thread, but I can't seem to find it with the forum search tool.:eek:

But it also has a couple of tack hole "wedgies" on the top and bottom.:D

Rather than deface this card further apparently a prior owner added the hanger on the back so that it could be displayed without tacks.

No UV protection was provided for Harry for a significant portion of his "hanging" in the midday sun as well.

And you probably didn't notice the missing left lower corner with all of the above.

Pinholes : "XX" "Beast" 1936? Wheaties
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...12FOXX_NEW.JPG


...there's three in the top , very high up in the "frame" and one dead-center bottom....really knocked the cost down , ; these HOF Wheaties box backs can be a tad pricey if the condition is excellent and up...

..

Anyone mind a Non-Sport card??

The War would have ended MUCH QUICKER if this "Sniper's" aim had been a little more to the right. Alas, Poor Neville Chamberlain took one instead!

tack holes
 

okay, probably holes created by bugs, not tacks, but these bad boys are tough to find in any condition:

Below the lungs, above most vital organs, I'm not Dr. Frank, but I think he could survive that. Especially if it was a high velocity sniper rifle. :rolleyes:

You rang! After patching Nevillle's intestinal wounds, you might find gross blood in his urine and from that angle, it is possible that he would also need a wheelchair.:eek:

For my contribution, I would be willing to bet that WaJo heard both of these shots.:eek:

Used a railroad spike on this one.

Here's a Wagner I purchased years ago from Mr. Delong in Fort Smith with a tackhole in a dangerous spot......Jerry

Tack Hole - Punch Hole... Let's call the whole thing off
 

Ok, a little bigger than a Tack hole, so let's call it a punch hole, but a tough to find card none the less, and a rarely seen image of Hoyt.
