Unknown Old Card

[autograf]

need better, uncropped photos and measurements...........that'll help determine if it's a trade card or something cut from something larger or something newer. Is a little reminiscent of a Tobin Litho Trade Card but not 100% sure......

New scans coming tonight. Thanks for the help so far, I'm not done with this mystery yet though

Wazoo,

I'm Not positive, but unless the Tobin artist did game cards, I don't believe it's from Tobin. With that said, A friend of mine went through a copy of "Baseball Advertising Trade Cards, Third Edition" by Frank Keetz and didn't see anything that looks like your card. Since your card has no advertising and just says "Ball Player" I think it probably came from some sort of game that has cards like it showing other occupations or activities.

I have many Tobin's and I have to admit, it is somewhat similar... as stated by a couple of other lads. I really believe I've seen this card before... Just can't recall?

I'm sure that we will nail it down soon enough though...

I'm betting it was cut from some kind of a game box.

That would be logical, of course it still has age to it and hopefully it is worth more than $3. Regardless, It's a unique piece in my collection.

It's not from any baseball-themed game we've ever seen, but the guess that it might be from some "Old Maid" / "Authors" sort of game is a good one -- and if that's where it comes from, someone at the Association of Game & Puzzle Collectors [ http://www.agpc.org ] might recognize it...

Just sent out scans to them. Thank you Butch.
