Pre War Mint HOF Cards
 

Let's see some NM to GEM MINT pre war HOF cards.

You have to show yours first. :)

Are there any?:eek::cool::D:rolleyes:

I think this 35 Goudey is in a 7 holder. I like how the background red blends with the red border...

Are you wanting to see raw or TPG opinions?

SGC 9.5 Cobb
 

Be on the lookout for me to start a thread tomorrow titled "let's see some pre-war cards with red backgrounds. Lol.

Raw works as well as graded. NM -- GEM MINT.

Whether unaltered or not, I have always thought mint looking PreWW2 cards looked unnatural.

LOL, we get it Ethan, you bought a high grade Cobb. We’ve seen these before from the Black Swamp find. No need to start extra threads to show it off.

Why not?


Back to the topic here is one though it might be traded in for others soon.......

I was joking about another thread tomorrow with the Cobb. I'm just a bit PSYCHED! Never had a high grade vintage piece, let alone one like the SGC 9.5 1910 Cobb.

Add Them Up

...as a bonus , they add up to a ten......I suspect they used the same base picture , ...... I can't see a cigar company sharing anything with a cereal company though....

..

I like all the cards posted in this thread, even Brian's. The green Collins one would have been called "near mint" in the 80's. I don't have a lot of high grade cards, but like to add a nice type card when I find a good deal...

I am a little more lenient with my grading standards...

2660 hits in 1923 has to be some kind of record.

I thought you were going to mention that it has a Superman back. I guess it's technically a "broadcaster" card.

How about a Delong...

Not quite "Mint", but pretty nice. Sorry, didn't see you said HOFer. Well, he's in the Cardinal's HOF.

Pre-WWII
Perhaps Walter Johnson from my PIEDMONT set qualifies...…….however, if it's pre-Korean War, then Stan Musial from my 1949 BOWMAN set certainly qualifies......

You didn't say it had to be a baseball Hall of Famer.....

Beautiful front on that Walter Johnson!

I'll go with these. Not mint, but pretty decent.

Attachment 362360The Joe D submitted myself... figured it would come back 7 or 7.5 all day. But noooooooooo. Who knows what PSA is thinking anymore. I sure as hell don’t.

The ‘49-B Robinson missed by a hair. Thought I’d include it anyway since we’re talking Korean War.

And if someone from BODA comes back and tells me the Ruths are trimmed, so help me...

A few......
 

Nice cards so far guys.......here's a few of mine. (Sorry, didn't notice the "HOF" stipulation until after posting scans of Eddie Miller and Babe Dahlgren).

I just realized that the OP said HOF. Oh well, Rabbit Warstler and Marty McManus are not in the HOF. Still, great cards, all. Here's a Rabbit who did make the Hall...I think the precedent is any pre-1950 card in nice condition...

No longer Boy Wonder
 

Great Thread!!
 

I don't have many NM or higher for Pre-War but I do love my Ted Williams

Troy

Not NM+, but maybe I'll slip in a few Pre War HOF cards that present better than their given grades.

keep the thread alive.

Hoping not to see the before picture...

Sticking with BobC's theme....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cdd80d2568.jpg

Absolutely gorgeous card, Ethan. If someone tells you otherwise, they’re either lying or jealous — or both. Me? I’m jealous!

Also bumping to keep this thread alive. Nothing like viewing stunning pre-war HOF’ers in all their century-old cardboard glory! Keep em coming, boys and girls. Wish I had some to add, but Slabgate has kept my wallet glued shut until drastic changes are made. I know, I know... wishful dreaming on my part.
