A recent pickup had me thinking that this thread might be fun to see what's out there...
Most of you know that I collect the no-hitter theme. A few years ago, I bought this Toothpick Sam Jones signed Fan Club card from Jim Stinson. Toothpick Sam was the first African American to toss a no-hitter in 1955. His signature is rare in of itself. To find a vintage Sam Jones fan club membership card was too cool to pass up. Within the past year or so I purchased this great 1929 WaJo Boosters Club card (that was actually WaJo's wife Hazel's) from net54 board member Hank Thomas (WaJo's grandson). I found a third candidate for this mini collection a couple of weeks ago on eBay. Here is a Larry Dierker Astro Buddies Club card from 1970. Astros Buddies Club cards each came with a player "Special Buddy". Dierker pitched a no-hitter for the Astros in 1979. Not a no-hitter pitcher, but I also have a neat Henry Aaron Booster Card from 1973, when Aaron was chasing Babe Ruth's career HR record. Show us your player fan club cards! Which ones do you have in your collection? Last edited by Scott Garner; 07-13-2022 at 05:58 AM. |

This 1929 WaJo Boosters Club membership card belonged to one of WaJo's sons. Scott, my pathetic memory does not enable me to recall if I acquired this card from Hank Thomas, and as best as I can recall, our examples are the only ones I have ever seen.

It's not a card, but this pin indicated you belonged to the St. Louis Browns Boys Club in 1935.

They both came from the scrapbooks, Val, and are the only examples I've every seen. I think they are prototypes, as well as the pin pictured on the cards. I'd love to to know what happened to it. I don't think the fan club ever got off the ground, perhaps because 1929, with Walter as manager, wasn't a good season for the Nats. They got MUCH better starting the next year.
