Umpire cards and collectibles

[Snapolit1]

Def have seen some Exhibits. Exhibits are cool, no way to deny that.

Umpire cards are cool! A while back I got really interested in them and did some research!

The first umpire cards were produced in the 1887-90 Old Judge set. It includes Wallace Fessenden, Jack McQuaid and “Honest John” Kelly.

Next, I think there's one in the 1909 Cabanas set

As mentioned earlier in the thread there are some M101-2 umpires! This is the first Hall of Fame umpire card.

There are some in the 1922 Exhibit set: HOFers such as Klem and Evans are included.

There are some in the extremely rare 1934 Al-Demaree die-cuts set. Klem is currently the only known HOFer in the set so far. There are 6 umpire cards in total. I suspect there are two more which are undiscovered at the moment one of which I suspect could be Bill McGowan!

I believe there are a couple in the '35 Schutter-Johnson set.

As mentioned earlier there are two Play Ball umpire cards: 1939 Play Ball Dolly Stark, and 1940 Play Ball Stark.

Those are the pre-war ones that I can remember, there might be a couple others which I didn't mention plus some obscure postcards or premiums.

Hope this helps!

Nice Ken! Good McGowan! This is one of the few stubs I own but I got it because it was "God's" major league debut.

You know, Doug Harvey.
