a very young Dennis Galehouse , in the minors until 1936....a refugee from the poster..

...I had just started cleaning the poster-child (temporarily and carefully unseated for removal of 81 years worth of cigar smoke and grime) when the graded one became available so despite the fountain pen "1935" on the otherwise blank back I bought it......

..doesn't come up often..He won a world series game in 1944 pitching for the Browns as I recall.....lost one, too...

Just completed arguably the toughest Old Mill player run (there are 4 others in the conversation).

Is there a list somewhere of all the CDN born BB players through the years?

I have looked at my 52's and noticed a few and it got me wondering, how far back does one have to go to see CDN's playing in the major leagues?

Baseball-Reference has a pretty cool tool to help find this info -- http://www.baseball-reference.com/fr...eofbirth.shtml

There are definitely Canadians in the N172 set; not sure if there is anything older.

Cheers,

Richard.

Hi Irv.

Bill Phillips in regarded as the first Canadian big league player.
He has a few cards in the N172 set (Old Judge)

Other Canucks in the set;

Tip O'Neill
George Wood
Pete Wood
Arthur Irwin
John Irwin
Pop Smith

*I think I counted 54 Canadians who played at least one game from 1880-1900. Like Richard noted, Baseball-Reference has a full list of all Canadians who have made a big league appearance.

This lot of N43 Allen & Ginter World's Champions just arrived in the mail:






Player........................ Sport............Total graded by PSA/SGC
James Albert ............ Pedestrian ... 21
C.W.V. Clarke ............ Walker ........ 12
W.G. George ............. Runner ....... 19
Jack Havlin ............... Pugilist ....... 13
F.F. Ives .................... Cyclist ........ 18
E.D. Lange ............... Walker ........ 17
Hugh McCormack ..... Skater ......... 22
Jack McGee .............. Pugilist ........ 21
Johnny Murphy ........ Pugilist ........ 17
L.E. Myers ............... Runner ........ 9
Wm. O'Connor ......... Oarsman ..... 19
Axel Paulsen ............ Skater ......... 20
James Ryan ............. Baseball ....... 25 (just one in the lot, even though pictured twice)
R.D. Sears .............. Tennis .......... 19
H.W. Slocum, Jr. ...... Tennis .......... 5
Percy Stone ............ Cyclist .......... 17

I am planning to work with 1880nonsports (Henry) to separate them from the paper backing and then may grade them. I ran the pops at SGC and PSA and the rarest one by population is Slocum, who only has 5 graded between both TPGs. Myers is the next lowest at 9 total. Who got the Buck Ewing from the same seller? He still has some Quadrupeds and Birds in large format for those nonsport collectors among you.

[Bill77]

Just got this today, and gave it a bath. My first time soaking a card and I turned a Piedmont into a Tolstoi.

I met up with Henry earlier this week and separated out the cards. Most had little to no back damage or residue after soaking! Enjoyed meeting a fervent card collector in the area.


Henry bought 6 of the cards, so I still have 10. Probably going to go to PSA on my next renewal submission. Here are some others I bought this month:

[Jason Carota]

Nice Galehouse, Mike! I like the slight difference in the crop of the "poster-child."

[njdunkin1]

Marty - awesome choice in Jennings. There's something pretty awesome about that orange-yellow that is so prevalent in his cards.
Luke - Wow! That is amazing! Was the "finger in air" the toughest?

[DerekMichael]

That is seriously awesome Luke. Congrats.

[Luke]

Thanks Derek and NJ! I've only been looking for 2-3 years, but in my experience yes. My copy is the only one I'm aware of that has sold in that time period.

...yeah the first "L" in "Millers" is visible on the cleaner-upper but not the Graded photo...

..Good eye..

[VintageBen]

Joe DiMaggio was so new to the card company that they spelled his last name wrong.
Card is rather large. Measuring 4"x 5 3/8"
I love this card.

New Zeenut pickups...


Some upgrades (Thanks B.Mc)...

[vintagetoppsguy]

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up this cool Danny Shea 1911 Obak. Noticed it had printer's marks on 3 of the 4 borders which is unusual for Obaks.

So would this be the rookie as the Zeenuts have him as a minor leaguer?

One would think that would be the theory. This set is from 1936, and therefore predates his 1938 RC.

There have been a few auctioned off through REA over the years, if you look at their past results.

[rustywilly]

Nice pickups everyone. Great looking DiMaggio RC.

In hand from REA...



And, a companion piece I purchased to go along with the postcard:

[mybuddyinc]

Kind of on an AB kick.

Nice to add another Pied. 42.

Tougher Sov. and a PB

Now at 70% "backs" between PB and Pied. 42 ...... no end in sight

Fun stuff, Scott

As a quasi wrapper collector that wrapper is very cool. I don't think I have seen it before....

A Couple Sterling wins

[ValKehl]

I got this 1933 R306 Butter Cream card of catcher Herold (incorrectly spelled Harold on the card) "Muddy" Ruel with the scarcer "Sept. 1st" back in last week's MHCC auction to join my example of this card with the easier "Oct. 1" back. Ruel spent the best 8 years of his 19-year MLB career with the Washington Senators, and one thing he is remembered for is scoring the winning run in the 12th inning of the 7th game of the 1924 WS, which provided Washington with its only WS Championship to date (maybe next year the Nats will win it!) and made WaJo the winning pitcher in relief. I love it when a pickup fits both my type-card collection and my collection of 1924 Senators players.

[GregMitch34]

I have to admit, this is fairly nice....highest Red Sun graded by anyone.

Dan, great card. That card has always been my favorite T206.

[lharri3600]

Stumbled across this one

Thanks for the responses everyone! I guess whining in the other thread paid off
