This one has some odd stuff...

7 HOFers

3 cards across the top. Middle card sits atop a check signed by the HOFer on the card.

4 cards in the second row, 2 HOFers, and that last card has the best card back I've ever read. Sold one of these cards to Bruce a few years ago.

Third row has 5 items... first is a boxing strip, one of the 5 boxers has strong ties to baseball. Who is he? That orange thing is one of my favorites, although of nominal value. The fellow played in the 1934 World Series, but he's hardly on any cards.

Forth row, at the bottom... who are they??? On the left is a member of the Hall, next is a seldom depicted catcher who played in the World Series, then 2 4in1's from what year? The guy on the orange thing is on one of them, and a player who is difficult to locate on any contemporary card is at bottom right, who is he??

Recognize the Red Man Reese. Is the guy on the bottom right, Len Koenecke?

Second from the left, on the bottom - Pat Collins?

Looks like a Diamond Matchbooks Dizzy Dean and a NY Journal-American Wes Westrum.

The rest have me stumped, at least in terms of player AND issue...

Hints...


1- PCL


player on #10 is also on #15

Right you are, Dan, about Heilmann.

That's the only Eastern Exhibit I have. Thought it looked really odd when I got it, I was expecting a normal Exhibit.

Good eye!!!

The player on the top-left of the left-side 4-in-1 looks like Pepper Martin. Frank Frisch is next to him.

Thanks, Frank. Now, the fact that I've never had a naked maid, doesn't bother me quite so much.

Some not answered yet...


Top left is either a '45 or '47 Centenial Flour card, dont know the player.

Second card in second row is a 1929-30 R315A Bob Shawkey

Last card second row looks like a 1961 Union Oil (lefty pitcher/Seattle??)

The Diamond Matchbooks are called 1934 U1 Silver Border.... the last one is umpire Albert Dolly Stark ???

" the boxer on there with dirty ties to baseball'

Gotta be Abe "The Little Champ" Attell!

Posted By: Steve Dawson

OK, my guess is that the boxer on the left end of the strip is Abe Attell.

Nice job Rhett.

I figured the 4 in 1 exhibits were 34's or 35's. I wish I had a few.

1934 W563-4

Good list, Rhett,

Here's where we are:

1)********fkw for recognizing Centennial Flour, that's York of Seattle. He was up with the Cubs for 28 games in 1944.
2) ****Steve D HOFer Gaylord Perry's first card, good eyes.
3) *****Dan B, Heilmann Eastern Exhibit
4) ****Dan B, Alexander with that nice image on the 1921 Exhibit.
5) *******fkw R315A Bob Shawkey
6) ****Steve D ****Steve D Peewee Reese on the last series of T cards.
7) *****!!!***fkw Union Oil it is, and a Seattle Rainier, Don Rudolph. See the back of his card, below!!!
8) ******Rhett, W580 boxing strip, but who's the boxer with baseball ties?
9) ***** good one, Al... Dizzy Dean, Diamond Matchbook.
10)
11) *******fkw nails the Diamond Matchbook of umpire Dolly Stark!!!
12) ******Steve D New York Journal, Wes Westrum I thought he'd be tough.
13) ******* for Rhett, IDing Billy Southworth on the Exhibit.
14) *****Yankees catcher Pat Collins. I have a Pat Collins mitt. 1926.
15) ***for Steve, & ***** for Rhett for Rothrock and 1934
16) ******** for Bob P... Len Koenecke.


So I think that leaves;;

8) a W580 strip, which boxer on there had 'black' baseball connections?

10) he's on card #15, the 1934 exhibit.


And if anyone can post a better card back than the Union Oil Don Rudolph card, I'd like to see it.

Rothrock it is, Rhett.



I can't post super sharp images, or you'll just zoom in...

So the boxer we're looking for is???

Posted By: Rhett Yeakley

I'm pretty sure the middle guy on the W580 strip is Attell, which I believe was already mentioned by someone above

Rhett, thanks for directing me back up through there, I see that Bob P picked Abe Attell out of the middle of the bunch.

You guys did it!
