Default Questions on recent pick-up

Posted By: Anonymous

Baby Anson is not considered one of the Tobin series but part of the Baby Talk series EVEN though Tobin also did at least one variant of that series (H804-1B). Tobin was a prolific trade card lithographer. The Anson you meant to refer to has the caption "Oh Come Off" and his last name below it. That would be H804-21 (color) or H804-22 (B&W). Barry correctly identifies your card as H804-15a. I have included seven cards in near mint and better for you to see some of the Red Border Position series. BTW, someone got a great deal on eBay last week scoring not one but TWO Sporting Life trade cards for about 75.00 each. I sold them 225.00 - 300.00 6,7,8 years ago and have no reason to think they shouldn't have appreciated a bit.

PS: Thanks to Frank Keetz for his time and effort to attempt classifying baseball trade cards.........
