Pre-WWII Bakery Cards
 

Actual card threads are some of my faves. And I imagine quite a few deals have been done over the years because of them.

Show one if you want to... A fairly recent D381 trade with a board member and shown a few times but still ...

-
1911 Pacific Coast Biscuits.
-

I have always found bread issues to be tougher than cookie/ Biscuit issues. Mom was typically opening bread and was less inclined to save cards.

Nice, Phil. Relative, perhaps? I must say, the old PCL was like MLB for the West coast. Very cool.

Another D310 Pacific Coast Biscuit, this one of Oscar Vitt, as well as a fun sheet cut D311 Pacific Coast Biscuit, D311's colorful little brother.

Probably not a Koester Bakery "card"
 

, but cut from a Koester Bakery poster promoting the subway series in 1921 featuring the Giants and Yankees

The poster is a thicker than regular cards' stock.

Players from the New York clubs not in the regular set were included in the bread set.

Jesse certainly looks like a lock to become a future Hall of Famer. :D

I guess when it comes to the Baseball Hall of Fame, sometimes being the one left holding the bag works out just fine.

Leon, I recognize this card - thanks again for the trade!

Here's an example of the other D359 card, although this is not noted on the flip:

A D381 face that only a D303 Mother's Bread could love.


Brian (not my Mother's, but a Mother's from another Mother's Lover)

I will follow Leon's footsteps and show one that I've shown before. It is the only Pre-WW2 Bakery issue I have though.

Not exactly a "card" but my best fit here.........

Love the bakery cards. Seems like Moms tossed most of these out with the bread wrappers !

Dean, that's one of my favorite cards. I'm still looking for the answer on the backwards S on the uniform, which appears on Tenny's card too.

I love that you have Lionel's. Here's another favorite.

A pic I have shared in the past, but how can I not share my pre-WW2 bread loaf container alongside my pre-WW2 bread card?

Paul, I'm lovin' your D380 of Addie Joss. I'm also showing the back of my D380 type card for those who aren't familiar with this scarce issue.

Thanks Jim. I too have wondered about the backwards S.

Thanks Val ! Based on the SGC serial numbers, our two cards came from the same find quite a few years ago.

Good catch, Paul. I hadn't noticed this.

Here is a 1921 D350-3 Standard Biscuit of Maranville, who punches in as a star player for the Pirates.

Nice H to H Bread cards, Brian. Not many of those around without paper loss on the back.

Thank you Val.

Great back, Val.

Here are my two Evers Brunners Butter Krust and Chance Weber Bakery

My other favorite bakery issue

My only bakery card...H. Weil Baking Co.

Chance overprint
 

Jim that is a cool Chance Weber overprint...Jerry

Even though D322 Tip Top Bread cards are somewhat small (about 1-3/4" x 2-3/8"), there's still a lot to loaf about them.


Brian (ACC 'D' wordplay you can smile and loaf about)

Yankee Cake

Cool card, Glenn!

D381s

Fantastic Erick, thanks for posting.

My head just exploded.

Thanks guys!

A few raw 1916 & 1917 WaJos:

This large Felt Pillow Top was a premium that could be had in return for 50 coupons from the D381 Ferguson Bakery cards. Besides Evers, all of the images are the same that were used for the cards.

Not a card, but…

Felsch's brother in arms

Lucky to pick this up from a fellow Net54 member last year -- appears to be the third example of this card to surface since 2003.

Riddle played in 98 MLB games, spread out between 1930 and '48 (age 42). He played 1,600+ minor league games, mostly in Indianapolis. He was a coach on Milwaukee's '57 World Series championship team.

Almost forgot one.

Another D327 Holsum ..

Here's an example of the more-frequently-found D382 Tarzan Bread cards without the "Trophy" sticker.

New pickup.

Here's one

Nice card, Jay.



Here is a Page's Pittsburgh Milk Co., Doerr

Just got it in a trade with Val. (Thanks Val!)

Jay, very nice Haffner's of the Babe - such a tough card! I'd trade my first born for a Haffner's Bread of Sam Rice! Here is my one Haffner's card:

Thanks Val! Not a bad player on yours.

Great stuff guys! Love those Haffners and that Bobby Doerr is sweet too, haven't seen that one.

A tough one of Ty

Another one coming in.

I know this is stretching the Pre-WW2 specifications for this thread (but being from 1943 and 1944 these ain't no Post-WW2 issues), as well as the 'Bakery' designation, as officially these two cards are ACC classified as 'F' (Food), but I would argue bakers use flour in the baking process, so for the purposes of this thread I have unilaterally declared today as F340 International Centennial Flour Day.

Brian (the holes seen are the result of a yeast infection)

I'm still ticked at having learned after I submitted this WaJo for grading that SGC will no longer note Wool's Bread on its label.

Jim posted an example of a 1922-23 PB4 Kolb's Mother's Bread pin of Gilhooley earlier, but my existing scan of my 1920 Mrs. Sherlock's Bread pin featuring members of the minor league Toledo Mud Hens (mine is Joe Kelly, who had 3200 hits between majors and minors) also has the same Kolb's pin in it as well, so Mr. Gilhooley gets his bonus 15 minutes of fame. Which, if my math is correct, brings him up to a half hour of fame.


Brian (sorry about the back scans...my scanner isn't built for recessed items. At least it did a good job showing the pointy pins clearly, because on the front scan they are just blurs)

Another Mrs. Sherlock's Bread pin:

D311.. shown before...

Great pinbacks! Do you have a smartphone? I gave up flatbed scanners years ago and take all my pics with my cell phone.

I do, but unfortunately my smartphone is smarter than its owner. Fortunately 99.99% of the stuff I want to make an image of is uber-flat, so the scanner works pretty decent for my needs.

And here is hand-scanned, hand-trimmed D311.

Brian

I find my iPhone to be super simple with pics and uploading them to forums such as this. Maybe give it another try?

Most members say the pics on their Iphones are way too large to upload. You don't have that issue?

And another card...with Aldon Candy overprint not even mentioned. Oh, the travesty of it all!

I’m probably one of those that’s guilty of uploading pics that are too large for the page.

Leon, what a beauty!

I love threads like this because I like seeing cards. Here's another Clark's Bread to bring this thread back to page 1:

A half-belt Standard Biscuit of a Gavvy.

Brian

I love how that pose makes it look he just swung so hard he tore a hole in the card.

It does...I believe Cravath was swinging an early prototype of the Torpedo bat.

Brian

Love that Weaver, Leon..... LMK if you ever wish to part with it!

Spectacular cards, Jeff!

Nice SB card of Speaker, Jim. I've never seen a SB card with an off-kilter back like this one.

Hopefully, folks aren't tired of seeing D327 Holsum Bread cards. Here are both back variations of Sam Rice's D327 cards:
