Red Background -- Cards
 

Something has always been intriguing to me about cards with bold red backgrounds...T206, 1914 / 1915 CJ, caramels cards...lets see some.

May not be what you had in mind, but it's the first thing I thought of.

LOL. waiting for the sgc 9.5 thread.

Forgot all about the 1933 U.S. Caramel set. Some real beauties in that issue.

Love the red’s

the op already started a thread like that. up next: post your cards with a fielder, wearing a hat, has his left gloved hand extending into the air. I’ve always loved those cards.

Sometimes red background cards can get a little shady.

Boys, let's have some more hobby respect / dignity (see what I did there). I agree with the op assessment. The red backgrounds of cards are awesome! One of my favorite threads from a few years back were "show us your Christmas / Hanukkah colored cards". The reds, greens, and blues were magnificent.

Great spread Midmo!

Man, has the market tanked yet?

I sure hope it does! And soon!

:rolleyes:

I realize the scandal needs a spotlight and we should not have our heads in the sand regarding the issue. Threads on the scandal should definitely exist here and elsewhere to make more collectors aware. I don't deny that fact.

But do we really need to inject it into the threads where collectors are simply trying to enjoy the hobby and share scans of their cards?

I no longer buy cards because of the scandal. However it would be nice to come to this forum and still enjoy seeing these types of card threads without having more of the scandal thrown in my face.

sincerely,

That's an incredible spread, Justin. Thanks for sharing.

Great looking cards posted by all. Here are a few of mine.

I have a few:

Ted! Congrats on picking up the Old Mill Greminger with the red bar! I wondered who snagged that! Awesome!

Hi Jack

I haven't owned that Greminger for years. I still have a scan of it, so I posted it.

I think Ryan R. now owns this card (or one very similar to it).

Great looking Babe. And no doubt part of the popularity of this card is it's red background.

How about missing red?

Ethan -- my understanding is that all the genuine Vermont Griffeys are way off center, you might look into that.

.

I've had the VT Griffey for almost 30 years, I know it's good. Sometimes centered cards are real. Lol.

PS. If you look closely, it's not perfectly centered, just ver well centered.

I stand by my point. There are lots of counterfeits of this card, and the originals are all poorly centered based on everything I have seen and heard. Back in the day this was a well-known problem.

Look at the pop report. 8 8s, 3 9s, and speculation was those are counterfeits that snuck through. In contrast, 1897 8Qs and 729 9Qs. But you don't have to listen to me.

The font on Griffey's name and position on yours is too light also and lines up differently. Another sign of a counterfeit. Look how much darker a real one is and how it aligns differently.

Do some more research Peter. Too many nice red cards have been posted on this thread to get in a back and forth with you about the authenticity of a $50 card from the 80s. Thanks for your opinion.

You posted the counterfeit Ethan, not me. And you're the one insisting on its authenticity despite the obvious contrary evidence. But feel free to mock me. Or was there a limited run of a handful of genuine centered cards with a different font? If that's the case I'll apologize.

You forgot to add the piss poor picture quality like most counterfeit cards have. Now can I mock you?:rolleyes:;):D

Is this one (not my card) fake as well? I really don't care if my copy is a fake or not. One of my first pick ups as a young boy...when he was playing here in Vermont. It's not for sale, so I'm good reguardless.

This psychedelic Weed is one of my favorite red background cards.
