1936 sports stamps

[insidethewrapper]

Leon: See if you or others can add to this list that I have compiled from many resources and collectors from the Omaha-Bee-News. So far 123 stamps. Any new additions please list. Maybe we should tackle one newspaper at a time.

Thanks for keeping track, Mike. We can add these..

I don't think there are that many of us keeping track, so my vote would be whenever we see one we can add to any of the lists, we should. They aren't as common as they used to be .

You're right, they aren't common, but SGC will grade/authenticate them...if they are loose, not affixed inside a scrapbook or to scrapbook backing.

have found the Boston American and Boston Advertiser online and working through making a checklist

the George Walberg and John Balich are in the June 7, 1936 Boston Advertiser

then the following Sunday ( June 14, 1936 ) the Bill Bonthron and Bill Groh appear without the 'stamp' format and continue like this well into 1937 (have gone as far as May 1937 )

the only other Boston Advertiser sport stamps that i have found are from May 24, 1936 -- John Marcum and Hal Lee along with Boston American sport stamps already printed in the Boston American

was the Boston Advertiser a short series? and for some reason changed to bio 'cards' continuing until ???

does anyone know if these have appeared in a card catalogue?

I got off on a tangent and went into the proverbial Net54 rabbit-hole. For several of us, this is a great thread. Love the little stamps. Would love to get more, different newspapers added to my collection...
These are known but I am not sure they have ever been posted before...

Well, I have a 1936 baseball scrapbook with quite a number of them in it, all the big stars. It was discussed earlier in this thread. It also has 18 that are loose, never glued in. Also, a couple of ZeeNut Joe DiMaggio, 2 different poses. And a complete synopsis of the 1936 MLB and PCL seasons. Obviously put together by someone living in LA, as everything other than the ZeeNut cards came from LA Examiner.

I have it safely put away. I reached out to SGC about it, and that was their recommendation. If I ever wanted to sell it, the person I spoke to said to the right person, it would be desirable, and that an auction house would be the way to go, and by all means keep it intact and safe.

The loose stamps would be graded individually by them, if I chose to do so. For now I keep them safe as well. They are all Yankees and Giants. I have offered them several times for trade in the B/S/T, but was turned down each time. I think because only a handful of us know about them, relatively speaking . So I will just hold on to these also.
