Sporting News Supplement question

[Archive]

Posted By: Marty Ogelvie

My SCD says these cards should be 8x10 and on thick card stock.  This particular card does NOT look 8x10 and the seller notes that the paper stock is THIN.  Is there any doubt this is a genuine 1910ish Sporting News Supplement?

They are on thick paper and the one you posted looks fine.

Having become all too familiar with the issue due to my lot purchase at REA (still a few left to sell off ), the stock of these is a heavy paper, but certainly nothing like the thickness of a card. The sizes vary as the issues were put out over a long period of time and the styles and orientations varied widely. That one is certainly legit and a great pose IMO.

Thanks for all the replies.  I love the Tinker pose.. almost as if he's playing slow pitch softball.  I suppose they either hung the ball from a string or just added the ball after the shot.. not sure.

I know the seller of that Tinker and can get you in touch with him if you wish. He is very honest and will answer any questions.
