1916-20 UNC BIG HEADS: show them
 

As some are aware, i been trying to complete this set for a long time and getting closer (as noted in my signature below)
SHOW THEM OFF!!!!!!

I've got one
 

J. Clyde "Deerfoot" Milan. Outfielder for the Washington Senators in 1907-1922. 2,100 hits and 495 stolen bases in 16 MLB seasons. 1912 and 1913 AL stolen base leader, including a then record 88 in 1912. His career OBP was .353. Managed the Washington Senators in 1922. His best season was probably 1911 for the Washington Senators as he posted a .395 OBP with 58 stolen bases and 109 runs scored in 705 plate appearances.

Great set Chris!!!

Chris Love the set and good luck in the hunt to completing it

Currently this is the only 1 I have

Jeff:

Definitely the one to have if you’re only going to have one. Awesome card!

Thanks

After taking a closer look of Chris’s card there are some pretty cool ones I might look for in the distant future(lot of Jackson and Ruth and need first)

Chris, great collection. This is one of my favorite strip card sets also. Here is mine.

Here is Ed Konetchy...his head might be big, but not as heavy as his bat, to judge by his droopy bat batting stance.

Chris, I suspect these two will catch your attention. I wish you the best in your quest to complete this set.

Nice cards guys
And yes Val- I saw the Judge but Rice is also nice

Best strip card set of all time!

Nice...never seen these cards before! Very interesting & good luck in your chase...doing great!

Is that WaJo with a mustache?

The Big Heads card of WaJo captures the brief hipster phase that Walter went through before he returned to his clean shaven, Barney ways.

Brian

Hey chiprop, is it a coincidence that you're showing us your Hinie & your Johnson?

Front side, back side, Aaron. You know that. (great pickups on the Wags labels too. Hope you are well...)
.

LoL

I added this back in December-- checked off Joe Judge of the list.
Thanks again Dan!!

Great Post! Thanks Chris!!

i picked this SISLER up recently,
DOWN to 2 left to finish the set: P.Bodie & S.Rice

This one ENDED on Ebay today: COBB
Yeah, it was 'raw' but under Ebay Authencity.
(thats why i questioned about it being sent to CSG)

WONDER WHO GOT IT???? I placed a few bids...but WOWWZERS!!! $3550
It got some late action between 2 bidders
I had always thought TonyEtrade was way high on his on Ebay @5445
but, that may perhaps been a factor in pricing as well. Congrats!!!

From the fairly poor image it has the suspicious "I'm not authentic" squiggle lines, and the color is looking off as well. I think it will not pass as authentic.

Brian

I just love that interpretation of Walter.

Have to agree, it's got color and printing to match a modern attempt at Cobb. Hope they're covered either way!

P.S. Going to post some info about this set's creation and dating on Net54's longest research thread, which appears to be https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...=120812&page=2 -- will be interesting to revive one last updated in 2010!

Agree^^^
I had talk to another member
While it was ongoing and had
Suspicions too about not real
The color was faded and the back
Look tea stain and baked but
The EBay guarantee has buyer covered

That’s one of threads I bookmarked
Good read

UPDATE:
I picked up a SAM RICE!!!!!!
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/oQUAA...yV/s-l1600.jpg

I also am getting back 4 cards from PSA that i crossed/sent in raw---results:
Judge: PSA 1
Groh: PSA 1.5
Wajo: PSA Auth
Cadore: PSA Auth

OVERALL--- SUPER EXCITED!!!!!

Just need Ping Bodie to finish the set.
(missed one back in Hakes, that was poorly cut/torn
in 2021)
Here is the example:

Great job!

I thought you got the Rice from Val, but then I realized the certs are different :D

Don't be thinking that Val would give up that Big ol' Rice Head of his.

Brian

^^^ lol
Val definitely wouldn’t let his go.
He showed his several times and just like
The “judge” card. It takes time since there not many around.
I’m so happy and getting the last card (bodie)
Will be a thrill to complete
So if anyone see it at a show or else-pm me

Chris, congrats on picking up a Big Head of Sam Rice. I'm happy for you, and I'll be totally thrilled for you when you complete this set.

That's awesome. This is my favorite strip card set as I love the designs.

Very impressive and a unique a cool strip card set.
Well done!

Hasn’t it been proven that this set came out in 1919? I know for a while it was considered Rogers Hornsby rookie card, but not anymore if it indeed didn't come out in 1916.

I don't remember ever seeing 1 specific date for them. Without me doing any research, certain players and teams probably account for the spread in years. That said, Oldcardboard has the Big Head as the #5 rookie of his, with a year spread of 1920-21.

Here is a fun thread started in 2010 about the issue date for the Big Heads with a lot of input from members:
