Any info on these?
I sent 3 of these calendar tops to SGC to be encapsuled. I knew they would not receive a # grade, so asked for "A" authenticate anyway.
Size is 4 1/2 inch x 7 inches.
At the bottom right is printed "All Rights Reserved by The Curtis Adv. Co Detroit"
I found it interesting with "Red" in the uniforms, have not seen that before.
Came back with "More info needed". I called and that was what the SGC graders decided. They could not come up with a year of issue or anything else about the "Cards".
The only other place I have seen them are in a Memoribilia Book published in 1992. There were 4 listed with pictures. My guess is issue date was sometime during 1907, 1908, 1909 season because Tigers went to World Series those years.
I contacted the Collector/Author who owns the other cards, but he had no other information. The book is large 9 x 12 and is 254 pages with color photos and prices in the back. I would recommend the book to collectors.
Thanks Joe
