19c Baseball Postal Covers

[Leon]

Hey Mike
I don't know what I have with actual baseball stuff on them but I probably have a few with relationships to cards...

[Michael Peich]

Thanks, Leon. I am looking for covers that show equipment, players, fields of play, etc. The Hess is interesting, but not what I seek. Wish I had it, though!

Cheers, Mike

I don't have any, but I really like them. One has a motif similar to this ribbon.

Gary--That's a beauty from the mighty Unions BBC. Wish it were represented on a cover! Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Mike

Mike - I don't have any baseball themed (I have a few general Spalding sporting goods), but those are very cool. I especially like the Goldsmith envelope. I look for these early advertising envelopes at Paper Shows, but haven't come across any baseball themed that were reasonably priced.

I have one that mentions baseball goods, I'll scan it in the next couple days.

A few other potential sources come to mind.

http://www.siegelauctions.com/

Has a search feature that covers all their auctions back into at least the 70's. I've never tried searching for baseball related covers, but it's worth a try.

the Frajola message board run by Richard Frajola is sort of like this place, just with a horrid bit of board software. But a lot of the guys that know "stuff" are on there. I've never joined formally, but read it fairly often. The site owner is a dealer in postal history - covers to the rest of us- and may be able to find covers for you. He may also be a *little bit pricy* (As in there's probably some really expensive stuff out there and a lot of that gets sold through connections like him)

Thanks, Steve, and I look forward to your scan. Thank you, too, for the tips. I'll contact those two sources and hope something turns up.

Cheers, Mike
