Read the Baltimore News! I like living in Baltimore!
 

Recent scores that I have been trying to get for 25 years! Finally got them!

Enjoy the pictures

Wow, awesome, Dan. so for how many years did they issue this design (looks like these are 1910, whereas Ruth's is 1914). do you have different years? tell us more, very intriguing.

Yes there are 3 different issues but only 2 dfferent years:

1910 Eastern League Orioles
1914 International League Orioles (This contains the Ruth)
1914 Federal League terrapins

They are very rare and it has been forever since I added one to my collection.

I now have 48 total out of the 3 sets

Amazing just amazing Dan!

Those are neat. Congrats!

What's the story on how you came across them?

Stunning cards Dan, thanks for sharing!

Forty Eight? That is totally awesome Dan! I'm just sitting here shaking my head in amazement! One of the most impressive things I've ever come across on net54.......maybe the forum should change to net48!:)Dave.

Wow...those are fantastic looking! :eek:

The 5 beaters were sold by my dad in the 1980s for $35 each to a local Baltimore collector. The collector must have picked up the 2 nicer ones over the years. I have been trying to get the 5 back ever since.

Great looking cards! Got to love the classic ball names like "Lefty", "Heavy" and Clancy!

Wow, that was one of the most impressive group of cards that I have seen in a while. Congrats Dan.

good stuff Dan. Glad they found their way back

Incredible

What an impresseive freaking scan of all those cards in one place. Nice job!

Congrats Dan, nice to have the cards back where they belong!

Fantastic, congrats.

Very cool Dan!

Very impressive Dan! They would be far more popular to collect and discussed here if they were more available. (not saying they aren't popular, just that they don't get their due print because so few have them)

No doubt. Many series are so scarce they don't get much attention. That is a drawback of collecting the really scarce ones. Great cards Dan....and my only one....(shown many times, but it's all I have?)

Very well stated and I hope they stay not popular! Otherwise Dan would not be able to collect them.

I can tell you they cost me a heck of alot more than dad sold them for and I also had to broker a huge deal for the owner on another card!

Thanks for all of the very kind words and yes, it feels like they are back where they belong.

This collecting is almost like work!

But as Leon can confess! We LOVE IT!!!!

Enjoy collecting!
Dan

Good thing I was able to track down the 2 Ruth's your old man sold and buy them back on the cheap...other than those 2 I don't have any Baltimore News cards. :)

+1.
Dan, may I assume that now, you will finally stop giving "Pops" grief for having sold these cards back in the 1980's? :D
Best,
Val

Dan,
Congrats on reacquiring the prodigal cards.

Congrats, Dan, on those pickups. They're amazing. Never seen those before.

Congratulations, Dan!

Great stuff Dan, thanks for sharing.

great cards. Amazing to see them all together. Congrats!

I will NEVER let him off the hook for selling the 2 Babe Ruth's Val. One for $1000 to a West Coast Lawyer and one for $8K.

I don't know how he sleeps at night knowing he beat that West Coast lawyer out of $1K for that Babe Ruth Schedule card.

Babe Ruth in a Baltimore uniform, no sorry Val, selling that was just DUMB!

And man do I beat him up for it!

Ouch!

Anyway your collection is very impressive.

Can we see them all?
 

Dan,

I would love to see all 48 cards. I have only seen a couple of these. It would be great to see that many.

Dan---
 

Congrats on getting the cards back---and Thanks for posting them for us to see!

Dan....
 

Congrats Dan....seller's remorse fur sure there:D
