1912 Baseball Player Stamps- you can add Christy Mathewson to the checklist



Unfortunately, someone snuck a kill all bid at the end or I would be the proud owner of all three.

heres the link on the old cardboard website about the set:
http://www.oldcardboard.com/o/stamps/1912-bb/1912-bb.asp?cardsetID=1195

only 4 known players- looks like mathewson is the 5th. doesnt look like theres a lot known about the set- who released it, when, and how- or i probably wouldve thrown a higher bid out there

It took me about a minute to find this,try using keywords....and obviously they are real,why else would he mention to Bob Lemke about putting them in his catalog? Do you think Jamie wants to pull one over on him? I think shes questioning his integrity

Jamie, the image on ebay auction for these stamps was removed before I had a chance to view. Did you (or anyone) keep a copy. If so, please post (or email to me). Thanks much, Lyman.

at the Phoenix show March 6th. He had just acquired them, and they weren't even priced and "out" yet. I seem to recall that he had 4, including a Matty, but they were a little rough. You may want to see if he still has them.

I did finally find them, though it took me a lot more than a minute (I think I looked under "baseball stamps" and found quite a few things)) I thought they were very impressive--with each of the players in a typical pose, so you would practically know who they were if they were only in silouettes.

Just because someone can't find something on ebay without being givrn a link, I really don't think it's any cause to say "I think she's questioning his integrity." Jeez...I hope Jamie at least knows better than that.

julie,
ive never seen you utter an unkind word to anyone on this board.

lyman,,
regrettably, i did not save the picture. the additional stamp was a christy mathewson.

and thanks for dragging up this post- i had almost gotten over the pain of losing this one
