Most Overlooked Decade in Hobby History?

[GasHouseGang]

Here are a couple from late in Cobb's career. Sorry, I only have the scan from the auction.

Are game cards allowed at this party?

Haven't seen any examples from these sets yet, so I'll put these out there:

Some other types from the 20's:

Non-US produced cards count too :

If you strip away a decade full of black & white, all you are left are strips of color.

I love 20's black and white issues... Also the decade of Ruth's dominance!

I've been around the block a few times, but I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know what card issue this is. The only game cards I'm aware of from the 1920's are the Walter Mails Game Cards and the Major League Die-Cuts. Would you care to enlighten me (us)? What does the back look like?

Hi Derek, thanks for the question! Yeah, that's a pretty tough issue.
Baseball ~ The Modern Card Game, produced in 1921-22 by Schulz Amusement Card Co.

We've seen only a couple of examples, including just a lone complete set, in almost thirty years.
The card above is the only one we own. Here's another back-and-face, though:

Very cool! I have certainly never seen one of these before and now I don't feel so bad that I had never heard of the issue. It certainly isn't on any type-card list I've ever seen. Can I assume that each card has the same image/player on front? It looks just like a 1922 American Caramel E120 - Series of 240. Do you know who the player is?

Just looked through some E120 images...looks like it's Heinie Groh (of the New York Nationals)...but interestingly, the border drawings are consistent with those used for some of the Cincinnati Reds players in the set. And the photo appears to have a shadow under him (vs. the photo used in the E120 set). I personally think the shadow under Groh makes the image much more awesome!
