1919 Cincinnati Reds Postcards - little help, please

[mikedenero]

I was contacted today by a prospective consignor who has 11 of the set of 24 of the 1919 Cincinnati Reds post cards. I have attached two pictures below. Also, I have attached a photo of one them that I pulled off of VCP. The VCP version shows that the front reads "Cincinnati Reds - Champions of National League 1919." On the photos of the postcards owned by our prospective consignor, the caption reads: "Cincinnati Reds - World Champion 1919." Any idea of why they do not match? Are some more rare than others (supposing there are two different varieties)?

The SCD Big book acknowledges the two versions, and speculates that the "World Champions" type is just a second printing (makes sense). It does not differentiate the two when determining value. Here's my only one:

It is my understanding (and experience) that National League ones are tougher.

He has 11 of them; they look like they'd grade between 4 and 6. SGC? or PSA?

Hi Mike,
The set was first issued after the Reds won the pennant. It was subsequently reissued after the world series, thus you have two versions. I have heard certainly claims that one issue is particularly more difficult than the other; however, as an active collector of the set, I do not share those sentiments. People often claim that the Daubert is a variation as the text is printed across the top of the card. However, every Daubert card I have seen is like this. [Anyone seen anything else like this?].

Hope that helps. If you need any more help with the set, you can contact directly.

Ted

Mike, we did a "mini-article" on the PC799 Cincinnati Reds postcard set in Issue #39 of the Old Cardboard eNewsletter (see http://www.oldcardboard.com/eNews/20.../eNews39.htm#2). The article is also listed in the Article Index linked from the home page of the Old Cardboard website.

There is also a Set Profile, Checklist and Gallery of the complete 24-card set on the Old Cardboard website at http://www.oldcardboard.com/pc/pc799...?cardsetID=931.

Hope this helps,
Lyman

Ted,

I think he will consign the card to us. I am pretty sure the Daubert is on the list --- stay tuned.
