D303 Mothers Bread
 

Show your Mothers Bread! Here's my Louden.

Andy

little scans....saw this Chase on the last trip out of the National on it's last day, 10-12 yrs ago.....John Billingsley had it for about 150 on his table, not graded....I nabbed it.

OK...twist my rubber arm...:)

Saw that one on ebay when it was first listed. I was thinking whether or not I'd make an offer... when I went back a little while later it was gone. You snatched that thing up with a quickness! Congrats on the pickup.

I'm still looking for my Mothers' Bread... one day.

...if you insist...

Very nice, Buckeye! Have you been waiting 5 years for someone to start this thread?

lol and +1

Better late than never. :D

my one and only!

will consider trade for mothers bread miller fielding pose!!!!!

In General not Mothers (words to live by)
 

Pete...unless my info is incorrect I believe the Miller fielding is only in the D303 General Baking set, not the Mother's Bread.

Who knows, maybe your Plank bait will unearth one (or at least get someone to attempt to fabricate one).

Brian

Brian... I kind a hope you are right... But I always thought that the consensus was that if it is available with general baking it should be available with mother's bread? Time may reveal the answer???

Leon,

It's difficult to tell from the scan, but your Speaker shows Boston correct? The Standard Catalog lists Speaker as Cleveland Am.

I'm wondering if there is a Speaker w/ Cleveland as well or if the info in the SC is incorrect?

EDIT - Disregard. I just noticed that the Speaker in your scan has a GB back and not MB.

Is this Oakes a General Baking card or a Mothers' Bread?

It is General Baking. Sorry for the confusion.

Not a problem. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't an update to the checklist.

A terrible scan, but I believe the only one known. Now just looking for one of his Sox mate Felsch

and my general bakings!

My two. A rare and undervalued series.

Here's one for all the Black Sox collectors....

Great cards Ed. And another example of where rarity doesn't equate with value.

Does anyone have a scan/picture of a Mothers' Bread Bressler? I think that's the only one listed on the checklist that I haven't actually seen.

EDIT: I had some on my list that were just going off of a list that Leon confirmed he owned at one point. So I actually need scans of the following:

- Bressler
- Doyle
- Lajoie
- Meyer
- Speaker

Leon, do you happen to have scans of some of these MB cards you once owned?

A few more D303s:

Hi Zach,

I don't believe I have yet seen a Mother's Speaker, but when I had the chance I bought the best looking General Baking Speaker I ever saw:

Doyle, Speaker, and Meyer
 

Here are three more.........

Nice cards, Jerry.

Thanks, Jerry! Now I just need to find Bressler and Lajoie.

Bumping this to see if anyone can provide a scan of Bressler or Lajoie.

New checklist addition
 

Hi all,

I just wanted to add to this thread a new addition to the D303 Mothers' Bread checklist: Eddie Foster.

Eddie Foster is on the card, but Clyde Engle is pictured. Both Zach (on his website) and the Standard Catalog note that several player poses in the Mothers' Bread set are images of other players.

I've noticed that in the case where the player is in the Mothers' Bread set but is not in the E106 nor D303 General Baking sets, the Mothers' Bread player images are of other players from the same fielding position in the E106 set.

Both Eddie Foster and Clyde Engle are third base, 3b.

Other players in the Mothers' Bread set but not in the E106/D303-GB sets include:
Felsch (Demmitt pictured, both are position c.f.)
Louden (Knabe pictured, both are position 2b.)
Meyer (Jacklitsch pictured, both are position c.)
Morgan (Doolan pictured, Morgan is 2b. and Doolan is s.s., but Doolan played 2b. and s.s.)
Weaver (Tinker pictured, both are position s.s.)

Here's a SABR article on Foster, who was, aside from being a good ballplayer, a very nice man.

Cheers,
Steve

Nice Steve!

amazing
 

That's amazing Steve!! Blows my mind that are still new cards being found....Jerry

Great stuff and congrats on the new addition!!

Thanks, guys! I hope that Zach is able to update his website (a great site that I really enjoy viewing).

Cheers,
Steve

I agree, great website...I have to believe we haven't seen the last of the unknown Mothers Bread cards...
