Show off your Speakers!
 

Would like to see some Tris Speaker while we pass the time...let me know if what you post might be available :D

Here's mine!

One of my favorite autos matted with a pencil sketch

Good stuff! I have been outbid twice on single-signed Speaker balls from his playing days. I actually I had a shot at one time...sadly...it wasn't to be.

Here's my Colgan's Speaker's Triple.

" What is certain is that Speaker was a breathtaking outfielder, maybe the first such creature in the American League. He played center field the way he lived — aggressively, dangerously, boldly. Speaker would play so absurdly shallow that baseball writers in the day would sometimes call him a fifth infielder. "

From The Athletic's profile on their #18 player of all time, Tris Speaker.

I love me some Speaker - will stick to a few I haven't shown much in the past...

Some great Speaker cards there, Jeff!

Great thread! My next purchase I am looking to purchase the Speaker T206, CJ, or candy card.

The Speaker autograph was bought during the last recession. The Sporting News supplement reard bought here from a board member.

Thanks Scott. You too, I love that T3 !

Great stuff, guys. Nice to look at cards for a bit, and take our minds off everything else.

Jeff, stunning AB 350...here's mine...

Beautiful AB

These are OUTSTANDING!
At some point, I must pull the trigger on a T3. The R312's are some of my favorites, too.

Here are my Speakers

There's always one guy! Lol
Very nice!

I can do better than that!

Do you think David is overcompansating for something?

Hahahahahaha! Too good!

Here are few of my favorites...

Sweet Sassie Molassie! That Sunday Boston supplement is beautiful!!!

The Gray Eagle...nice choice. People tend to forget how elite a player he was. My modest contribution:

Tris Speaker 1934 United Kingdom Card
 

R&J Hill 1934. I believe this image is from an earlier tour of Japan. The same image appears on a Cuban issue which escapes my memory at this moment. There is something noteworthy about the lines on the field that was pointed out to me years ago. Memory again...I think it had to do with the venue being a soccer field.

It's the same image as the 1915 Susini Cuban issued card....

One of my favorite T206s
 

just a few things off with this one.. :)

Not mine, but this one is so uncommon I doubt it would have been shown otherwise...a JuJu Drums of the Gray Eagle.

Might as well get the T213-3 in the pile

a few photos, phone photo images, so a bit blurrier than I'd like.

Jim,
Holy Smokes!!! You just blew my doors off with those pics. Legit nice stuff.
You must collect him quite a bit, no?
Phil

Thanks Phil, Speaker is one of the players I collect photos of.

This is a clip from a 1909 Red Sox panoramic I have - I believe this is Speaker at the far left end - does that look right to folks?

Honestly, not really. The eye sockets look close but he looks a bit "saggy & slight"...Speaker was pretty broad, actually...but that doesn't mean it ain't him!...maybe he's slouching? I just wouldn't wager it.

I want to take a picture of the photo over my fireplace and post it. Seems Joe Wood & Tris Speaker did the trick of running while the panoramic was being taken and they appear twice in the line!
I love that! That must be a heck of an '09 pano you got there! Can you share the whole thing, perhaps? Thank you!
Phil

I should (and will) share the full pano - it honestly probably deserves a separate thread, which I will do tomorrow, so I can do it properly.

In the meantime, here is the Red Sox team portion of the panorama - I have it pinpointed to a mid-June 1909 series in which Speaker played in all of the games, so he should be in one of these shots. Which one is he??

To me that does look like him on the far left, and the stance of that player seems to fit Tris...not sure why.

Brian

Agreed Brian - that was my thought, though Phil disagreed. Happy to hear any other thoughts on it as well....

One more vote for the player on the left to be Speaker. My eye was drawn right to him.
Some of my Tris Speaker cards etc.
Third from left in Red Sox team photo. Lousy jpeg.
Other photo from Hunt Auctions. Not much info other than with BoSox against New York at the Polo Grounds in the 1910s.

Yep. when you look at all of 'em, the far left HAS to be him. None of the others are of any likeness.

Here's a few

Other examples already posted, but here's mine.

Love it! Great start of a Speaker run!

E106 Speaker
 

Love this card

Love that E106, Dan - the colors and everything - gotta get myself one of those someday!

Wow Dan. That's the most beautiful E106 I've ever seen.

I agree. They usually look more like this condition-wise. Still a great card even with the creasing (Seems like a fair amount of E106 cards I have seen over the years have a very prominent vertical crease...anyone know whyinthefadoodle this is?)

Brian

That is a really nice Speaker for the series. Very, very few like that.

I say that is Speaker, two over is Wood and two more over is Stahl

Gorgeous card.

Something different to show...
From Helmar Brewing. A difficult modern art card to locate. The series is retired and collectors don't sell them. You've gotta be a stalker to find it. One of my favorite Speakers

Spoke
 

There have been some unbelivable cards in this thread!
(I love these threads where we all post a HOFer and the various issues!)

Brian, nice cards!

BTW, if you make through to Walla Walla again, shoot me a PM. There are some good eateries here with and without wine.

Speaker Book
 

I can recommend this book I read recently. Also I have this T206 Speaker PSA 4 listed on B/S/T.

Speaker signed Kansas City Blues Stock certificate made out to T J Pendergast who was big in Harry Trumans life.

Here are a few Speakers https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...82e17b5d11.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b8396e2401.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5c3c0c57e6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...981ffe365b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...03a63e03d3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...35aaf49848.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1a6a284a41.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ed58bd0c31.jpg
