Favorite cards you own from the 1920's
Would love to see a couple of everyone's favorite type cards you own from the 1920's....which seems to get lost among the card decades by many collectors...
Here's a few of my favorites in my collection....condition not important as shown... :) <a href="https://ibb.co/j87sPNY"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/zmKDTMg/fullsizeoutput-248.jpg" alt="fullsizeoutput-248" border="0"></a><a href="https://ibb.co/kgZBfQV"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/pvqw8J6/fullsizeoutput-24a.jpg" alt="fullsizeoutput-24a" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/60wBScp"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/whgsqZb/fullsizeoutput-243.jpg" alt="fullsizeoutput-243" border="0"></a><a href="https://ibb.co/VVx20Dt"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/2qSg0Py/fullsizeoutput-244.jpg" alt="fullsizeoutput-244" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/kXTY8tC"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/4pLBTHr/fullsizeoutput-88.jpg" alt="fullsizeoutput-88" border="0"></a><a href="https://ibb.co/QXgq5QX"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/R7FM5b7/fullsizeoutput-220.jpg" alt="fullsizeoutput-220" border="0"></a> |
I agree the 20's are generally overlooked which I think is due to most sets of the decade being B&W when sets from the 1910 & 1930 were primarily in color. Personally, I'm not a big fan of most B&W sets, however, I do like a few of the exhibits (but no longer have any) and for some reason, the e253 set.

Posted this just a few weeks back in Leon's "Show a Scarce Pre-WWII Type Card" thread, but here it is again anyway:
https://live.staticflickr.com/4652/3...bd7f777f_o.jpg Yeah, looks a lot like an E-120 or a W-573 or probably a few other things, but it's from Base Ball ~ The Modern Card Game by Schulz Amusement Card Co. Same player (top of rgpete's vertical display at the right of post #4) on every card back, different results on the card faces. Still looking for more from this very tough set... |

The 1920's is certainly an overlooked decade for PreWW2 card collectors, but plenty of great card sets from this decade are out there, as you can see in Brian VH's post (he always showcases great 1920's cards). A couple of my favorite from the decade are the W503 and E220 National Caramel sets...great images in both, even if they didn't know how to spell Jim's last name.
Brian (hint for poster of post#13...M101-4/5 cards, while extremely cool, don't qualify as 1920's cards) |

Nice Ruth's Jim.
For me 1915-1930 is probably my favorite period to collect. So many great Ruth cards in the 20's including his earliest Yankees cards. Love black and white cards. |

A few examples of other cards from less common 1920's sets that I have always enjoyed: W575-2 Autograph on Shoulder, E126 American Caramel, and always love me some 1920's Zeenut cards, here featuring some goofy looking poses from 1920 to 1923.

Seeing all these cards from the 1920's just helps to reemphasize how badly someone needed to issue a set with some color. The most readily available cards with color were the strip cards, and most of those were of poor quality. Here are some examples of both type. I will add that I still love the Exhibit cards.

. . . which included 2 World Series championships -- 1924 with Washington and 1928 with the New York Yankees. He won 186 games, but lost even more. He gave up home run number 60 to Ruth in 1927 and went 12-0 with the Yankees in 1929 which is still the record for most wins without a loss in one season.

While Walter Johnson was the winning pitcher with 4 innings of shutout relief in Game 7 of the 1924 WS, he lost his 2 starts earlier in the series. Arguably, the pitching hero for the Senators in the 1924 WS was Tom Zachary, who won both of his starts, pitching 8 2/3 innings in Game 2 and a complete Game 6, a crucial 2-1 victory over the powerful NY Giants that got the Senators to Game 7. Zachary's ERA for the 1924 WS was 2.04.

Nice cards, everyone. Lots of back run chances in the 1920's. I want more cards from this decade, especially d327. These backs really pop in hand. I'm hooked on these now. Grabbed this deal today...1920 type 1 back...

Leon Goslin played 18 MLB seasons, . . .

. . . which included five AL pennants, two World Series championships, and numerous interesting moments. Early in his career, he was so awkward judging fly balls that he caught the nickname "Goose".
In 1928 he and Heinie Manush were tied for the AL batting crown going into the last game of the season, which was between Goslin's Senators and Manush's Browns. Goose had the edge when his turn to bat came around in the ninth inning, but an out would hand it to Manush. Goose tried to sit the at-bat out to secure the crown, but his teammates shamed him into going to the plate, where he quickly took two strikes. He then decided to get himself ejected and began berating the home plate umpire over the strike calls. But the umpire made it clear that not only wasn't he getting ejected, he wasn't getting a walk either so he better get in the box and swing. At that point he got the hit and won the batting title. In 1936, Goslin had one of the stranger home runs in MLB history. Facing the New York Yankees, he drove a ball into the gap only to have Joe DiMaggio in right and Myril Hoag in center collide. Both outfielders were knocked unconscious and Goose rounded the bases with an inside-the-park home run. https://net54baseball.com/attachment...1&d=1587896154 https://net54baseball.com/attachment...1&d=1587896179 https://net54baseball.com/attachment...1&d=1587896202 https://net54baseball.com/attachment...1&d=1587896211 https://net54baseball.com/attachment...1&d=1587896237 https://net54baseball.com/attachment...1&d=1587896252 https://net54baseball.com/attachment...1&d=1587896262 https://net54baseball.com/attachment...1&d=1587896272 |

. . . 18 of them with the Washington Senators. He was at first base for all three of Washington's AL pennants -- 1924, 1925, and 1933. Before he retired, he set AL records for career games, putouts, assists, total chances, double plays, and fielding percentage. He had a career OBP of .378 and hit over .300 nine times. He also coached the Georgetown University baseball team for all but two years from 1936-1958.

What happened to the "color" cards in the 1920's ? Anyone have anything in color, or were all the photos in b/w ?

The 1920s are certainly a great decade for those who like B&W photographs. I've long been curious why there are so few color images during the decade. One theory I've heard is that Germany led the world in color printing technology in the early 20th century, and WWI ended that. It is curious how great the cards looked from 1909 to about 1913. After WWI begins, only the Cracker Jacks from 1914-15 have the same high quality color artwork and printing. It's not seen again until 1932 when the American Caramel set came out. The following year, Goudey came out with their glorious 1933 set, and full color returned to baseball card art.

1921 Standard Biscuit
I’m not sure I understand the German color print technology argument, and Cracker Jacks were printed long before WWI. Besides that, WWI was over before the decade of the 20's began, and if the Germans had an advantage wiped out by the war, there surely was plenty of time and opportunity for the US to jump into that market. Also, the B&W photos actually took prominence as of 1916– the last half of the decade of the teens had only re-hashed lithographs and crude color drawings.
I wonder if there was just a shift in preference for actual photos, which although they might now seem somewhat bland or less imaginative to some, may have been considered an advance in a fan’s appreciation of the player’s appearance at the time. Of course, there may have been cost considerations as well–why pay to provide an artist to colorize photos if it didn't really affect the bottom line? Anyway, here’s a Wingo that landed at my door today– a biscuit in my basket (hockey reference from someone dying from the lack of NHL games). Maybe not my favorite, but my favorite today. Many thanks to Greg Morris cards for a smooth and friendly transaction. I note that the photo used is from Mendelsohn’s m101-6 set and was copyrighted by him. Makes me wonder to what extent if any he had in the production of (or profits from) the 1921 sets.https://photos.imageevent.com/imover...ge/Wingosb.jpg |
