Let's see some original card art, proofs, sample cards, for prewar baseball cards

Esoteric enough, should be fun. Here's one for me:



A Salutations Exhibit Holmes proof card that is oversized and on lighter card stock.

Probably the only prewar baseball samples I can afford. I am pretty sure the Coolie Lavagetto is trimmed. I also have Jake Powell, Lamar Newsome, and Bob Klinger.

McAleer's Just So photo. Even though a Just So McAleer card has not surfaced, a few years ago, an ad poster(not mine) for the Just So set surfaced with this photo.

Picked this up from Leon ages ago. Is this truly considered a Proof?

Original art for Exhibit PC Back Sammy Bohne. Photograph and ink on board. Bohne ne Cohen was an early Jewish player from California. Bohne was traded to Brooklyn late in 1926 and was out of the majors by 1927, indicating that this image was created in 1925 or 1926.

No, it is mislabeled.

I think this Burke 1936 R312 photo could qualify for the thread.

When I 1st arrived to 'Leon's World of Cards', I had just played with submarines for the previous 15+ years. What really caught my attention was the Art of Trade Cards. The Colors are jus Awesome! Over the years I've Only seen 2 of these... I had them both, sold the other years ago!

*I've enjoyed this Oversized Corker 'Staring me Down' fir quite some time now!

I know Adam won't mind (and actually would prefer) a boxing card crashing his thread.....

I dont know if Keith still lurks here, but would love to see the T206 Collins proof. Other than a google image which I won't post. Would be curious to see how it go at auction in this market.
