1952 globe printing
 

Hi All:
Would like to start a thread to see if there are any collectors on N54 or elsewhere who collects the 1952 Globe Printing minor league cards and who would like to compare notes. I am always buying from this "set" at reasonable prices.

Hope to hear from any and all of you and thanks a lot,

1952 Globes
 

Please come on. There must be somebody !!!

Mark

Hi Mark, I'm not sure how much I can add to this topic, but I'd love to pick up some more Globes for my type collection. So far, all I have are cards from Blossom Dairy, MD Super Service and the 1952 Stockton Ports. If anyone would like to trade a Globe card from a set I don't have, I have an extra Dairy Blossom and an extra MD Super Service — and they're in great shape. Since every thread needs a card, here's one I acquired from you, Mark, a few years back ...

Thanks Chris. I hope others chime in.

I've been very, very, very slowly obtaining San Jose Red Sox cards. They just do not come up very often.

I also have some of the team cards issued for San Jose (I've posted a few below), and a number of programs. Globe printing was in San Jose and they printed SJ programs and team photos for a number of years.

I have seen the San Jose card album, although I don't have a picture handy. Would love to get it some day. I'd also really like to get the Marv Owen card if anyone has one to spare.

Wow Marc thanks for chiming in. I knew there were other Globe collectors out there.

I only have one San Jose Globe - Sobscak - who I played for in 1962 at San Jose State. Am always looking for more but they are hard to come by.

Tell me, are the team pix actual "cards" or are they the 8 X 11 variety ? Let's keep in touch and maybe we can help each other one of these days.

Here's an article from the late Bob Lemke about Globe cards. He touches on a question I've had for years: is it possible that the same folks behind Globe Printing made the Remars and other PCL sets from the late 40s? There are certainly similarities between the various sets. Bob also mentions a flood that destroyed a lot of inventory.

Also, does anyone have a list of all the teams Globe did, including those only available in albums? Here's a page from the only Globe album I have ...

The Globe Printing cards look cool. One I hope to get some day is the card of Clyde Brud Perry, because he was the son one of my favorite players, Clyde Oscar "Tub" Perry, who played one year in the PCL and another 25 as a star pitcher-outfielder in semi-pro baseball. A Clyde Brud is currently on eBay for $200, way out of my price range.

Mark- the two San Jose team cards I posted earlier are 5 x 7. I guess they aren't really Globe cards in the same sense that the player cards are, but they were almost certainly printed by Globe Printing because of the San Jose connection.

I'm also posting a 1954 team image. It is larger (6.5 by 10). The players names in the box makes it look more like a Globe card.

I'm also posting two images that I have posted before. Both come from a 1953 program printed by Globe. It is for a game between the NY Giants and Cleveland Indians played in San Jose. It has a full page advertisement for Globe Printing, including a picture of a display that includes cards and albums. There is also a page in the book with Giants and Indians players, printed with the typical Globe card look (and some bad spelling... Monte Erwin). I thought these were interesting, and wondered if any cut from a program had ever shown up on the market.

Hi Marc:

Thanks a lot. In addition in 1949 Globe published a book called "Your California League" in which they pictured almost all of the players, in card form, for each club.

I do not do scans but if you will email me your address I will mail you copies. My email is in this thread above but is mkbow2@surewest.net. I think you will like to see it and add it to your collection.

I have had this book for many years and have never seen another one.

Here is a 1930 Zeenut of Clyde "Tub" Perry, as seen from Rhett's great website starsofthediamond

Hopefully you have one already, but if not, this card should not be too tough (or expensive) to eventually track down.

Brian

I know it shouldn't be hard to find, but finding individual Zeenuts is like finding a needle in a haystack. I've never found one for sale. Thanks for the picture.

I am working on the 1954 Blossom Dairy set. Anybody out there got any to sell or trade?

Mark,

The late Bob Lemke did a lot of research on these sets a few decades ago. This links to one of his blog posts on Globe, with more links within:

Welcome to Net54. There are Buy/Sell/Trade sections further down for this type of post.

I have heard this from most Z collectors. There are some other rare sets like that to. Find a specific player for Mothers Bread or Victory Tobacco? Good luck...
.

Random bump on this, but has anyone ever seen any of the Miami examples?

They're listed as existing but I've never actually seen one

Someone sold a set within the last year or so, and I recall seeing the images. I can't recall whether it was here or on eBay, but they were definitely offered, and sold very quickly. I'm certain they were Miami Flamingos — the Pepper Martin card stuck in my memory. Hopefully, I saved a few images. If I can find them, I'll post them here.

Appreciate it

Johnny Podgajny is close enough to my collection goals if one popped up I'd prolly go for it. So just curious what the card looks like

I have a complete Sky Sox set with album that my wife bought for me a long time ago. I posted it here.

Chris I think you are correct. but unfortunately it was not me. We might ask John Rumierez to chime in as it well could have been him. I have never seen a Miami Globe either and as you know I have a lot of them.

Miami Beach Flamingos
 

I would also love to see images of the Miami Beach Flamingos Globe cards. I'm working to catalog images of every single 20th century baseball card picturing a Cuban born baseball player. The Flamingos have at least one and maybe two Cuban players. I am also looking for an image of the 1952 Globe Printing Great Falls Electrics Armando Suarez. Below is the Amado "Chico" Ibanez card from my collection.

1952 Globe Syracuse Chiefs
 

Hi all, I’m new to this site and this is my first post, so please forgive me if I make an error. I understand (from the TCDb) that Globe Printing produced cards of 18 Syracuse Chiefs in 1952. The only one I know of is of Bruno Betzel (it’s currently available on eBay). Does anyone know who the other 17 cards are of, or where I could find out? I collect cards of Syracuse Baseball Wall/Hall of Famers, like Frank McCormick, Johnny Gee, Pepper Martin, et al. Bruno isn’t one of them. If there are any W/HoFers in that “set” I would be interested in obtaining those. Any advice would be appreciated.

See this earlier post:

Thank you!
 

That’s great info. Now I have my sights set on a Bob Keegan card from this set. Thank you!

Betzel gets around. He's also in the 1955 Parkhurst Magic Photos.
