1926 Sports Co. of America Spalding Cards Trade Ad
Great ad from an obscure trade publication illustrating the method of distribution for 1926 Sports Company of America Spalding cards. Also including the Old Cardboard link for comparison...

very interesting
Hey Jeff
Thanks for posting that. I have an affinity for that series as I have one of the more scarce cards in the set, a 1927 (copyright) Ruth card. Now we see they were made exclusively for the candy trade I wonder if we should classify them as "E-Unc"? I have always had them listed as a trade card "H-Unc". Great item and if it were ever offered for sale I would be interested....regards

Very cool item! It's rare we get to see the items we collect in the state that one was able to purchase them.
Leon, I don't know that these should be E-cards as the Sport-Scrip is what you were actually purchasing (along w the card)--only the buyer with the lucky #'s got any candy or gifts. -Rhett

I love that set of cards also. That is a super neat piece you found there. If anyone happens to run across the Man O War card, give me a holler, I had to sell mine a few years ago and have regretted that for a while.

Does anyone know why certain cards in that set (like Cobb) seem to be especially tough?

Yes - certain players were aked to participate in the set and give their permission. A few prototypes were sent to them and they are extremely rare- I (and very advanced collector in Calif.) own a Red Grange (2 seen) and BMW (Mike Wentz) has a Cobb (1 seen). They were also issued in 1927 and as Leon says and are rare. I have three FB players with a Sept 1927 copyright date on the reverse. Nice Ad.

Thanks, Carl. I had no idea the Cobb had a 1927 copyright date. I remember when it was auctioned. It was handcut and sold as very rare, but I didn't know it was literally one of a kind.
