Go Cubbies all the way! The postcard is not for sale. That's one of those hard to remove stickers.

Here's a post I made a while back. Got many of the cards on the BST here.

FYI - Zippo Lighter Fluid works wonders on stickers

Should be a great series

Attachment 249094"Big Ed" was 24W-7L in 1908.
Hey Ted..... I always thought this variation of Reulbach was a bit scarce because there was only the Piedmont 150 back. That is until I recently bought the Sweet Cap. Just how many different backs of Reulbach are there?

Orval Overall

1908:

Season: 15-11 (1.92 era)

World Series: 2-0 (0.98 era; 10 strike outs in final game 5) ......... :)

Great cards everyone!!

Here's my contribution - these are the only Mordecai's I still have.

That's really an awesome postcard!

Not from the 1908 champs, but what about from their first championship team of 1876?

On a side note, the Cubs haven't won it all in 108 years. That game last night was their 103rd post season game in franchise history. Knowing that history loves to leave a trail of eery facts and coincidences, could we see the Cubbies in 5?

I am rooting for Cleveland, but the Cubs have more than a good Chance.

Harper's Weekly, May 2, 1908, page 14.

Teams pictured, from the top, are the Giants, Highlanders, Cubs and Tigers.

Some amazing stuff guys!

I think it would really cool if the cubbies were to wear 1908 throwback uni's.

Mike,
Reulbach (Glove Showing) is available with 5 backs.

PD 150
SC 150/25
SC 150/30
Sovereign 150
Brown Hindu
Attachment 249235

Thanks Pat. WOW! that Hindu is something. I'm going to keep an eye out for the Sovereign.

Here's the starting lineup from the 1908 Series, all raw, with Mordecai as the pitcher. (Tinker and Chance were cracked out of SGC holders, 20 and AUTH respectively.) These particular cards all have Piedmont and Sweet Caporal backs, but I have several T206 Cubs with tougher backs, including a Hindu red Chance (with front damage), a Cycle 460 Reulbach no glove, an AB 350 Pfeister throwing, and an AB 460 Overall yellow sky. I also have a Chance yellow portrait that looks much nicer than this red portrait, but I wanted the symmetry of having the infield be all "CUBS" portraits.

1908 Cubs Banquet
 

Will there will be a banquet at the Tip Top Inn in 2016?

Looks like it's been closed since 1931. Link Cool photo. Probably are some Cubbies in there somewhere but the only face I can make out is Smilin' Ken Landis in bottom pic at right.

Have always loved the period ink on this one (including nick name) :)

Jack Pfiester -- 1908:

Attachment 249330

Here's a supplement of a team that could have won it all. A chance to be up 3-2 turned into a 1-4 series loss after the Cubs had an 8-0 lead and gave up 10 straight, followed by blowing a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 9th the next day.
Attachment 249331

Here's kind of a similar piece to the Chicago Sunday Tribune supplement, it's from the Philadelphia Enquirer of Oct 13, 1929

No attempt to hijack, but in keeping with the theme and a very good book.

Closer to the original theme than my last post, this is a full sized newspaper page.

08 Cub
 

Cap Anson still holds Cubs career records for BA = .339 and Hits = 3,081. Anson was also an accomplished billiards player....and, owned a billiards hall in Chicago.

Orval Overall
 

2-0 in 1908 WS, with two CG and an ERA under 1

There is also Jimmy Sheckard with his hand to his face. Can you post a close up of the people on the other side of the table? Love this pic!

By far my favorite baseball book. The only one I've read multiple times.

"Quoth the Turkey" :D

Hey Ted, that's a great picture of Chance.Where does it come from? Do you know when it was taken? That uniform that Chance is wearing doesn't match either of his cards, and I can't recall the Cubs wearing that at any time.

Hi Sean

It's from an old Chicago publication (which is hidden in my miscellaneous stuff "junk piles"). When and if I find it....I will post it.

Here are some more Cubs related pages from it......

It is the 1903 uniform; the photo was taken by Carl Horner.

Thanks, that explains it.

Schulte
 

By 1915 Wildfire Schulte was the only 1908 regular that was still a Cub.

Game 7 here we go...

I have a question about the t206 Jack Pfiester cards. I know they spelled it "Pfeister" on the cards, but on my PSA graded examples they also call him "Jake" instead of Jack on the slab.

I can't find any other source that calls him "Jake" other than PSA. Are they just clueless?

GO CUBS ............


http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/...bumchicago.jpg

There is no mention of Pfeister being called "Jake" at http://www.baseball-reference.com/pl...fiesja01.shtml or in his SABR bio.

6-3 in the bottom of the 7th! 8 outs to go! :cool:

I was sure that I had jinxed them. Luckily, not so... :D

Been listening to the game all night on the radio.


WOW, what a game!

Fifth time a game 7 has gone to extra innings, and the first time that the visiting team won.

It is just odd that PSA seems to know so little about baseball history as to grade numerous cards with the wrong name--I've seen other examples of this problem. They are perpetuating a fiction, it appears. It doesn't give me confidence in their services.

I'm new to t206 collecting, but this almost makes me want to send an email to them to say "his name is not Jake" and get my card slabbed correctly.

My cards are pretty trashed (pic attached), but I do want them at least labeled properly.

And congratulations to the 2016 Cubs! Woooo!
