Homemade Vintage Card Confusion & Corn Flakes

[BaseballWeirdo]

THANKS for all the feedback & help with these two cards -- I really appreciate it. And I'm glad the players are looking to be Hack & Paddy. I felt Mickey Livingston's playing career was a little later than the bulk of the cards in this set.

From what I can gather, the Corn Flakes box design was used in 1927-28, possibly earlier. The previous box design (through at least 1922) used "TOASTED" Corn Flakes as the product description.

Although the majority of cards have blank backs, there are a few more set of advertising backs (match boxes, cough drops, parawax) that I'll post down the road. This project is far more time consuming that I thought -- trying to identify the players, then getting caught up reading about their colorful past.... and the next thing I know its 2:30 in the morning.

Anyhow - thanks again for all the valuable feedback!

Great stuff Paula - Thanks for sharing it with us! This is the kind of hobby stuff I enjoy seeing and reading about.

Another off-topic point, but I don't see his name come up very often (even here), so here's my chance to drop this factoid: Paddy Livingston died on the same day I was born. Or, more modestly, I was born on the day Paddy Livingston died.
