1934 butterfinger Mel ott

1933 World Series Mel Ott

Caption from Reverse: With New Yorkers still bemoaning the decline of Babe Ruth as their son of swat, a new idol popped into the picture at the Polo Grounds in the first game of the series between Giants and Senators yesterday. 'Twas Mel Ott. To make the roaring fans forget Babe Ruth for the day at least, Ott tied a World Series record with a homer and three singles out of four official times at bat. He drove across three of his team's four runs.

Here is Art Devlin of the Giants on bottom and Frank Schulte of the Cubs on top of this T206 card, which of course serves as a figurative depiction of the Cubs victory over the Giants in the 1908 World Series.

Larry Doyle is one of my absolute fav portraits in the T206 set

Some pre-war Giants. Or, would they be Metropolitans?

More pre-war Giants.

McGraw, Ott, & Hubbell

A few from my type collection:

Cool thread, here's my Pre-War Giants...

John J. McGraw, "If I had Ruth, I would win a championship every year."

And last but not least, this little trinket. Most certainly some sort of reprint, but from decades ago, and I have never seen another like it. I got it years ago at a card show. I have seen other, larger versions of this, but this one is smaller, desktop size, with a fold out stand. My shaky cellphone camera photo of this little thing does it no justice at all; the colors and details of it in reality are astounding.

Gotta have a Merkle represented! Especially one as beautiful as his E95.

Here are some of my favorite Giants, including a couple which have been cut down to size.

W503 Heinie Groh
T207 Andy Becker
Gypsy Queen Roger Connor
E101 Christy Mathewson

Brian

i humbly submit my favorite card...

David...
Please don't Stop now...
I do have all Day! (:

The photo used for the E94 DeVore (photo is mine, card isn't). I don't know of too many photos used for illustrated E cards.

Looks like "Laughing Larry" Doyle got canceled by a conductor in lieu of a proper ticket. Cool card.

Matty is 1 of 2 with the blue back - and I am lucky to have a Red Sun anyone, let alone Rube.

Great thread! Here’s Tesreau

Every time I see that Winthrop PC I get green with envy.

Matty and the Big Train along for a ride.
