Not sure if the Stovall counts.

Early PCL cards from players with connections to Santa Clara University. Something to keep me busy.

[quinnsryche]

Now here's a thread that needed to be resurrected. Love them PCL's!
BTW - anyone have a link to a site that has images of the full Obak runs?

[Section103]

Pics are from 1917 Texas A&M baseball team....

[t213]

Just bumping the thread because I'd like to see more of these.

I used to own this one. I guess you could call it a minor league card.

Love the CA Hess cards.

[oldjudge]

I think this might be the first minor league card set, the 1886 Hancock Clothing Syracuse Stars cards. Here is the Buckley, their catcher.

[oldjudge]

Here is the back of the Buckley card. I like the cards because they are kind of related (big stretch) to the Old Judge set. Goodwin & Company distributed the Old Judge set, Goodwin (different Goodwin) was the photographer for the Hancock cards. Also, both Buckley and Tomney, two of the three known subjects in this set, later appeared in the Old Judge set.

Thats a cool card. I was not aware of the issue and never even thought of what the first minor league card was/could be. Interesting that Phil Tomney is one of the subjects. Do you perhaps have a scan? Thats another Tomney card added to my checklist I will never own

Great card!

[GaryPassamonte]

I really like those cards, Jay. I'm less than 100 miles from Syracuse. Thanks for showing them.

[oldjudge]

Hi Gary! Stars were a solid team.

Thank you for sharing those. I like the name and position being on the reverse of the card. Its a nice change from the regular front printing of most prewar cards. I dont recall seeing another issue from the era with that style of printing of the player information on the back.

[Bliggity]

My favorite prewar set -

[oldjudge]

I can't recall another 19th century issue with player info on the back.

Zs are well represented and here are a few cool poses...in the second collection.

[CooperstownExpert]

Here's a link to Spence Harris's page on my website.

Harris holds the minor league record for hits, runs, and doubles. His MiLB stats are stunning!

If you get a chance check out the site -- CooperstownExpert.com. It has pages for every HoFer and 200+ non-HoFers.

Cool to see everyone's minor league cards. Thanks for sharing!!

I don't think I had Mr. Peckingpaugh when this thread was originally started, but he's a worthy addition!

I thought you were only allowed signed T206s? You need to let me have that Peckinpaugh! Great card, man.

Ha! No... I collect all pre-1915 signed cards. I try not to discriminate, notwithstanding my collecting focus of signed T206 cards.

Some of these old threads bring back memories of cards from days gone by. Here is a current one.
