Bliss card found in recent collection
 

From the research that I was able to do on this card one of these was sold on eBay for $330 back in 2012. Does anyone have anymore insight on it now a decade later?

My recollection is that I owned that card, or one like it. I think I outbid one of the well known members on here on ebay. I think I paid like $900. I sold a few years later with a small auction on here and assumed he bought it. He had another player from whatever this boxcut looking set is, Franck Chance maybe?

Thank you for the info Rob!
Seems like a pretty cool find I guess.

I'm just about positive that I am not the person involved in your transaction. I acquired this Frank Chance card maybe fifteen or twenty years ago. Can't remember any details. Didn't know what it was then, didn't know what it is now until I saw this thread.

Quarter for comparison if Leon were Canadian.

Very cool!
Thank you for sharing!
It’s funny that I never had seen this card before a few days ago and now I can’t stop trying to find out more info on it! 😊

Would you ever consider selling the Chance?

Probably cut from a notebook cover....

David, it was r337man, DanM, that posted about a card from this series on here. I think he had a Frank Chance. A Bliss popped up on ebay and I had a high snipe that won it. I sold the Bliss, I think with Scott's auction. Either there are multiples of these cards, or Dan sold his 2 cards, which are the cards in this thread?

The picture that I had from the 2012 thread is this one. Definitely a different card then mine.

I checked "Bliss" in Brockelman archives and did not see it. I thought I sold it with them, but maybe not.

I will check around and see if I can find an image of the Bliss card I had.

I have seen a variety of these over the years. I remember seeing a Chief Meyers example years ago as well.

Here's one on eBay currently.

What would I search to bring that listing up?

Do you have a link to the 2012 thread on here? I'm thinking it was longer ago that I was posting about buying a Bliss on here. I can't find any trace of the one I had.

I thought these were one-offs, but it looks like there are a number of these.

Patrick, that Wagner is cool, thanks for pointing it out. A Meyers too.

Bresnahan managed the Cardinals from 1909-1912 and the Cubs in 1915, so I'm thinking this issue is somewhere from 1909-1912. Also, Chance last year with the Cubs was 1912, and Bliss' last year with STL was 1912.

I called it "boxcut" because I remember the card being kind of thick, but I guess a notebook cover makes more sense.
