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.

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

Nice; the black color of the design should have been the clue.

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

I know they are low grade and nothing otherwise extraordinary, but these are my first two T205s and I could easily get hooked! Personally, I could be pretty happy with a set that looks like the Merkle. I won't be able to buy much between now and after Christmas (unless I start liquidating something like my '65s), but my 2017 might just start off with more of these gold bordered beauties. Thanks to the T205 collectors for the inspiration.

[Bill77]

Yeah I was comparing it to pictures of the different backs after I got it, there were a few inconsistencies with the Piedmont back and then I saw the Tolstoi back and smiled. Its the second T206 I have bought from an Ebay seller that probably didn't know a lot about the set.

[swarmee]

Of the 325 Needhams in the PSA Pop Report, only 7 are Tolstoi backs.

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:

Henry- I miss our National meetings we have had in years gone by......

Not a card, but certainly a 1 of 1. Picked myself up a Fiancee on Thanksgiving. Took her to The National with me this year, and she survived, and even bought several cards for me. That was the final test. She passed with flying colors.

[Piratedogcardshows]

I have had some good pickups lately after a slight dry spell

[Leon]

That ring would have bought a nice Ruth .... Congrats....if she is supportive of your affliction she is a keeper!!

Congrats! She's a keeper for sure!
