New 1888 Set Discovered - How to contact SGC?

[kevinlenane]

Let me try this another way since my last post was insanely disorganized - I think I've discovered a new set from 1888 where before the SGC had only a single card. The set is composed of distinct images of Palmer Cox like "Brownies" that were also used in future Mayo Cut Plug tins. There is a baseball scene on the front and then a Boston Beaneaters (from King Kelly era) schedule on the back on firm card stock. The different titles and baseball scenes that I've found so far are:

1. Panic-er
2. Judgement!
3. Out on Second
4. Putting on the Curve


With Panic-er being the one that SGC has graded as a single trade card but without any distinction as to which one it is (since they only have one) How do I go about bringing this up with the SGC such that when i send mine in it is individually labeled "Putting on the Curve"? Any advice is welcome - is there some formal path for submitting set changes to the SGC?

1888 Brooks and Sons "Putting on the Curve"



1888 Brooks and Sons "Out on Second"



1888 Brooks and Sons "Judgement!"



1888 Brooks and Sons "A Panic-er"

Kevin,
These Trade Cards are fairly well catalogued. These Brownies trade cards are from the H804-2 set from 1880. The cards you have from the 1888 Brooks and Sons are the "overprint" stamp on the older H804-2 cards. Many, many companies/teams/businesses used these for Advertising (sometimes called Advertising cards). SGC and PSA label these types of cards differently. For example, with your cards above, PSA calls them all H804-2 Brownies (listed in Baseball in 1880). SGC labels them based on the stamp on the front. There are likely multiple different listing for these in the SGC pop reports.

Some "overprint" stamps are more sought after, especially those with team schedules on the reverse.

As far as having SGC label these consistently, I cannot provide much guidance there.

Ah thanks! Super helpful - I certainly appreciate the info - its interesting that SGC and PSA catalog them so differently but its prob not worth my time to lobby the SGC since they are used in so many different ad sets.
