Peter, your Hamilton is absolutely stunning!!!

Haven't seen too many of these...

The first LDS/Mormon a well as the first Utah-born player in the Major Leagues. I have never seen another example of this card before, although I have seen 2-3 copies of the Dick Bayless card from the same set of over-sized postcards.



I also love this Rose Co. postcard which is the only "individual card" of the real "Moonlight" Graham of Field of Dreams fame, even though there are a few known copies of it in existence (how many? I have no idea but I have a hard time imagining there being more than 5-6 total copies known)

Thanks a lot Derek! Guess you'll post your Campy for the "show your rarest Campy card"?

Ken - I've been looking at vintage stuff for decades and have never seen that. I did a quick search and found the image was used here:

http://ourgame.mlblogs.com/2012/06/

The images are the heads from the Peck & Snyder card. A Google search seems to show that every image of the team, just contain the starting nine except the P&S.

Like your cool round piece Ken, they leave out the 'substitute' player - Dick Hurley who didn't play at all with the team.

Love it.

Cool, thanks for that link, Peter! It definitely is the same piece. I won it in REA about 3 years ago (maybe 4), and they believed it was the only one they had ever seen. And they weren't sure what it was, either.

001.jpgPretty cool dual image (miscut) of HOF Hugh Jennings. Careful Hugh, someone might be gaining on you!

I have never seen another.

Dixie, I've long wanted a Red Sun card for Hub Perdue, nice. Very nice. I have 2 of his red border Old Mills, his autograph, a couple of white borders, a Fatima, and one CJ... I met his grandson, who let me look at some of Hub's stuff. A letter from Roosevelt, a couple of Conlon photos with back stamps...


I think that this is much less plentiful than is generally perceived.
