In my opinion, these are uncatalogued because they're modern, i.e., not from the deadball era. Bliss (career ended 1912) and Hornsby (who must be the source of the "Rajahs" name; career began 1915) missed each other by several years.
There were several hobby issues of deadball players in the 50's and 60's. I doubt this card is older than that. Bill Last edited by bcornell; 11-09-2012 at 09:43 PM. |

I'm with Bill on this one. The font and style just don't seem right to me. It lacks a crispness of true lithography.

I have no idea if they are old or not but I checked google last night for companies using the name Rajah for that era and came up with a cigar company, coffee, chocolate and sparkplugs just through a quick search so I wouldn't assume the name is connected to Hornsby so quickly. Found four options without digging deep so it was a rather common term/slogan during that era.

I have to try that Google thing once in a while, myself. The "Rajahs" name may not be from Hornsby, but that seems like a big coincidence. Bill |

The Rajah of Nagound indeed preceded Hornsby and is still available for all you Rajah collectors.

I'm with those who don't believe it's a 1910 era piece. I just don't get that feeling when I look at it. I do think it's vintage, just not that far back. I was very surprised at the final price. I thought I remembered seeing the same card offered on eBay a while back also. And if it sold back then it wasn't for nearly this much.
