$-in-shield?
does anyone know anything about $-in-shield pc? i had just purchased a 1908 johnny evers it has back damage it was put in to a scrap book all i can find out is it was made by cross photo co and there where 11 cubs and 9 white sox and i guess they are rare. does anyone know what its worth? was it regional? how rare they are and should i send it to sgc for grading? any info would be great.

Can you post a pic of it? Not sure what you are speaking of...

pretty rare but they do come up, certain players like Evers come up more often than others. if it's low grade I don't think you will gain much value by having it graded.

I was the winner of a three card lot (Brown, Tinker and Chance) in the August Legendary auction. Link: http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...x?lotid=111302 The description referred to them as "Anonymous" postcards and the SGC flip is non-committal but the "$ shield" is on the backs plain as day. All I know about them is summarized on the Old Cardboard page. They are very cool in hand, especially with the period writing.

Apologies to my fellow obsessive-compulsive types out there. |
Crose Publishing Postcards
My understanding is that these postcards were published by Crose Publishing Company. I have a Johnny Kling in my collection.

Crose It Is!
They are listed in the Mashburn postcard guide as being from Crose Publishing Co., if memory serves.
The company made both player cards and a Chicago team card: http://vintageball.com/files/Shield_Pfeister.jpg http://vintageball.com/files/Crose_Cubs.jpg Robert S |
Sorry to bump an old thread, but these cards were actually produced by the Suhling Company of Chicago and not by Crose Photo (of Indiana). The $ inside the shield is Suhling's logo as shown below on this non-sport greetings postcard.

Jeff - GREAT detective work!
If anyone has a Walsh from this issue and would consider selling or trading, let me know. |
Jeff, nice catch. This is yours (which hopefully you should have or should get tomorrow).

What others have said... nice research. Always good to check facts and be able to right an old wrong.

Got it Jeff, thanks!
