Old Cardboard eMagazine #176 Set for Delivery this Week

[lhardem]

Greetings,

Just a reminder that the December issue of the quarterly Old Cardboard eMagazine will be distributed later this week. If you would like to sign up for a FREE subscription, just send an email to editor@oldcardboard.com.

The December issue (Issue #176) contains several strong articles, including the lead article by Net54 member Todd Schultz that details the 1910-12 PX7 Domino Disks. The article also references an updated Checklist and for the first time a complete PX7 Gallery that includes examples of all 129 players in the set.

Another article makes a strong case for the incredible (skeptics might say not credible) discovery of a Mel Ott rookie card revealed for the first time earlier this year in Australia. Veteran Australian collector Steve Flemming makes the case; we'll leave it to our readers to form their own conclusions.

Rounding out the issue is a profile article detailing the obscure Blum's Bulletin premiums from the early 1930s. Thanks to Old Cardboard reader Doug Goodman (also a Net54 member), we have been able to document the set to a new level of detail. A complete gallery of all 22 known premiums is also included.

We hope that you enjoy the issue.

Happy collecting,
Lyman

Thought I'd use this as an opportunity to renew my request for Px7 disk info, especially scans. Thanks to Lyman for adding a colorful gallery of the set and for his help with the article.

At this point I have several hundred different scans of these disks, but am looking for more. Many times I see scans of just the fronts, which of course is better than nothing, but I am trying to identify as many domino combinations on the backs as I can (probably a fools errand).

Of the 129 subjects, I have confirmed the following fronts:
Full Face:
Brown=109
Red=106
Blue=97
Green=106

Thin Face:
Red=79
Blue=66
Green=63

Sometime early next year I hope to post a list of the disks I have not confirmed. In the meantime, please feel free to pm me or post any disks that you've come across since my thread on this issue a few months ago:
