Favorite card pairings!

[Vintagecatcher]

For those of us that enjoy displaying our collections, what are some of your favorite "type cards" that pair well with other types of the same player.

These two cards, which I acquired this year, work well together:

Johnny Kling E91-A and Johnny Kling Plow Boy Tobacco Cabinet.

Let's see your favorite type cards of an individual player that pair well!

When I first started collecting Turkey Reds
I matched a few T3 Baseball subjects w/ T206's & T9 Boxers w/ T218's

Here's 1 scan that I retrieved

Each one of these rare cigar label proofs shows more of the in progress ballgame in the background.

Keeping with the catching theme. Here is a pair of Miguel Angel "Mike" Gonzalez cards. Mike Gonzalez is super underrated for a man who was a true baseball pioneer. He was one of the first Cubans to play in the Major Leagues (1912). He had a 17 year major league career. He became a well respected coach with the St. Louis Cardinals and manged the team on two short occasions. In Cuba he was a long time player, manager and team owner of the Habana club. His baseball involvement spanned seven decades.

I collect three sets: DeLong, Diamond Stars, Wilson Franks. There are several players that overlap between the first two but only one that overlaps with Wilson Franks.

These two rare Topps test issues pair perfectly.

Not the same player, but cool how they made two cards out of one picture.

That is a VERY cool pair, sir!

[molenick]

Thank you! I kind of like the matching photo/card pairs (Lewis and Richards) but they're all cool.

1933 player, 1955 ump.

He's not the only player/ump, but he had one of the most successful player careers compared to the other umps.

Warneke played until 1945, but his first experience as an umpire was in 1940 while still a player.

A rained-out game between CIN and STL was rescheduled, but because of NL oversight there were no umpires booked to work the game. The game was delayed while they went looking for umpires from an earlier played game, finding only 1 before he left town. An official game needed 3 umpires, so each team provided a player to umpire 1st and 3rd. Lon Warneke was the STL representative umpire at 3rd base.

I thought of another pair I have.

[JimC]

Love these two together.

[raulus]

Nice little trio of obscure Mayses.

[Brian Van Horn]

No favorites. Simply examples. Have more, but I will take a rest now.

Love this pose:

A couple of Babes and a pair of Teds!

I like to find a cool Harry Heilmann card to go with my Lucky Strike sign, but that’s down the road!

Babe usually lives in the safe, not on top of that spittoon!

Time for the weekend and college football!

I like this thread because it's open to interpretation as to what makes a pairing. Here is the same pose for two different players in two different sets.

Pete Runnels was my favorite Senator when I was a kid:

Ruth trifecta

Joseph Laughlin, Danville Red Sox: H801-7 and T210-2.

I like this pair because it looks like the T205 Walsh image is a match for the PC796 Sepia Postcard Walsh.

Here’s a few Cobbs

Love the Briggs and Stahl Mayer Mays and the Detroit Free Press Cobby along with the pins
Thanks for sharing those rarities!

[benchod]

Here's a pair of Tristram's

[benchod]

Here's another favorite photo/card pair
Thompson Ruth and the 1921 Proctor Theater Ruth

[JollyElm]

This pair (which now reside in slabs) is pretty cool to have together, because they are coveted/semi-coveted autographed 'Mr. Tiger' variation cards - 1962 Topps 'Green Tint' and 1973 Topps 'With Bandage/Band Aid'...

Craig: Haven't seen your terrific Speaker cabinet in a long time. What a beauty!

On the same note, here's Smoky Joe.

[benedini]

But a pretty cool pairing!!

[calvindog]

Love the dog cards! As well as those insanely rare Proctor’s Ruth card and Thompson photo — damn. And David always posts a card I want, this time the signed Wood. Beautiful card.

[ValKehl]

Coughlin is the correct spelling of Bill's last name:

[Brian Van Horn]

One more. I direct your attention to his position on each card.

[Snowman]

This is one of my favorite pairings. Funny thing is that they are in identical condition, graded one month apart lol. But I don't care about the grades. The cards are stunners!

[EGreenwood]

Here is one of my favorites:

Here are a couple of Mathewson cards (E91A and M116) that share the same Christy face and Christy shirt collar.

Really some great cards in this thread.

These aren't directly associated, but still period to each other....

[71buc]

I’m more of a memorabilia guy but at least there is one card in this grouping

Fun thread! Here is my share.
