The Fred Beck Thread- Born Nov. 17, 1886
 

Fred Beck tied for the Major League lead in home runs in 1910 with 10. He is known to T205 and T206 collectors, and is also found in m116. The e107 Beck is Erve. I would guess he has some other card issues like s74 and Art Stamps, etc. Let's see some Fred Beck cards and related stuff...

Why does that image look like Ol' Fred is leaning out the passenger side window of a moving vehicle trying to field that grounder.

Interesting. Is that a Spalding bat with H&B vault marks? I know that H&B didn't use first names on a barrel--what was Spaulding's policy / tendency?

Nice one, RobG, and nice bat Brendan, that's neat. I think Samosa was right, though. My next thread will be about Ty Cobb.

Probably had a buddy that picked up one of those new auto carriages that some guy named Henry Ford was pushing.

Excited to see more Beck cards! This looks like a good start to the remainder of the Fred Beck Super Collector list. Any missing?

M116 Sporting Life
T330-2 Piedmont Art Stamps
T332 Helmar Stamps

Fred has some pretty good T206 backs too: AB350 Frame, BL350, Carolina Brights, Cycle 350, EPDG, OM

Who's got em?

And on at least one occasion, he didn't even have any back!

One of his more common off-backs.

Looks like we have the beginnings of a....

This one is listed on B/S/T (not by me)

To wit, here is my M116 Schmidt.

Oh, what the heck, this card actually pictures Beck!
