Wow. I don't know enough to what the big deal is.

I swear I have seen something like this before but cannot remember where...not Old Mill but with other advertising and players (with action photos?)...I am sure there were Fatima ones from Pictoral News Service that showed teams (like the Cubs and A's) and action photos...gotta search the archives.

Leon, very cool piece, you got a heck of a deal imo, I would put the value around what your max bid was and that may be being conservative to be honest.

Here is a similar type piece that I sold through Heritage this past year. Rariden and Perdue date this one to around 1912-13 as that is when they played together. The piece was also made by the Pictoral News Co. My piece sold for less than I was happy with but yours is much more interesting with the offer on front, etc.

BTW I'll take a stab at the identifications (I wonder what photo I will get when I send it in to the company? )

The ad states "Speaker" as one of the guys but the guy in #3 isn't Speaker, he looks more like Charley Hall to me but I haven't confirmed it. Maybe that is why it was "hard" because they gave you wrong info.

Sniping at over $500 and winning for under $30 is a good day!

Hi Leon,
Here's 3 similar ones I have in my collection. They all say Pictorial News, and advertise Piedmont or Old Mill Cigarettes.

The New York Yankee piece appears to be from 1913, when Chance became mgr and Williams, Cook and Maisel were new arrivals.
