Lets see your Pre-War cards with catchers wearing their masks
 

Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>I thought a thread showing cards with catchers wearing their masks might make for an interesting thread. Let's see how many different issues have examples.<br /><br />Here are a few of my favorite ones that I own.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1190758933.JPG"><br />E136 1912 Zeenut Auer<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1190759068.JPG"><br />T3 Turkey Red Cabinet Red Kleinow<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1190759196.JPG"><br />T206 Red Kleinow (Boston)<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1190759318.JPG"><br />T206 Red Kleinow (New York)<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1190759552.JPG"><br />T206 Mike Powers<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1190759600.JPG"><br />T206 Fred Snodgrass<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1190759672.JPG"><br />T210 Old Mill Lucia <br /><br />Patrick

Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>Thanks for the responses. <br /><br />I was really surprised to see how few cards actually have the catcher wearing the mask.<br /> <br />Are there any more catchers with the mask on in the Zeenut sets? <br /><br />Any more in the T210 set? <br /><br />Any Home Run Kisses with the catcher wearing the mask?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Patrick

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>Patrick,<br /><br />I've always liked that T206 Powers. It's one of those cards that I kick around in the back of my mind to pick up someday just b/c I like it.<br /><br />So he's in full gear, which means game mode, actively playing, and in the picture he is just ... standing there. It's such a casual pose and casual look that it's totally incongruent with his having the equipment on.<br /><br />If cards with catchers wearing masks are few, then cards with catchers standing around doing nothing while in full gear are fewer.<br /><br />J

Posted By: <b>Brian C.</b><p>My favorite image of all time, from the Fleishmann's Bread set. It took quite a while to finally acquire one of these.<br /><br /><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j154/bcampf/chief.jpg"><br />

Posted By: <b>Darren</b><p>Cool idea. I never realized there were so many of these cards. Or maybe I never have really paid attention to them.

Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>I picked this Lone Scout Magazine up off of ebay a few years back because I recognized the face as Chief Meyers. Last night I checked Slocum's Classic Baseball Cards book and realized that the Fleischmann's Meyers card has the exact same image. Thanks for posting the image Brian.<br /><br />Just a reminder that we are looking for scans of catchers wearing the mask.<br /><br />Thanks again for the responses.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1190802986.JPG"> <br /><br />Patrick<br /><br />P.S. The Lone Scout Magazine was issued April 27, 1918. There is no reference to Chief Meyers listed.
