Pronounced Fewks.

There was a thread like that a while ago, though his name was not included.

Mike was referring to the much publicized hatred that Ruth had for the Braves owner. Who promised Ruth that he would be groomed as manager of the team. When the Babe realized that Fuchs only hired him to increase attendance he said he felt embarrased and treated like a side show. Ruth Homered on Judge Fuchs day his 709th. Two more in the next two months then 3 on his final game..

If that Gehrig is smaller (about 5x4) than it is probably one the Yankee team issues that was issued in the late 1940's. At one time I had the original envelope they were mailed in and it was from the early 1950's. If this is the wrong size than disregard what I said. We see the DiMaggio, Gehrig taking a swing in his warm-up jacket and the shot of Gehrig and Ruppert at the water cooler sometimes as well. We sell them as such (1940's re-strikes) but there is no definitive evidence that they were not issued over a period of time starting in the late 1930's and continuing through the 1940's and early 1950's. I have a stack of others as well and they are all late 1930's players, but the look and feel match up with images issued immediately after the end of WWII.

Ben,
To answer your question, I did not look at it under a black light, but am posting the photo with the label from the slab(now liberated from the slab).

Rhys,
I am interested in understanding your rationale for why 3 of the photos linked in Phil's post above, all listed in RMY, are stated as Vintage 1's and 2 are Vintage 2's, yet all are 4x5 if the size is a clear determining factor.

I just picked up this cool 1901 Tacony, PA Base Ball Club season ticket. For those of you that don't know, Tacony is a suburb of Philadelphia.
While not exactly in my collecting sweet spot, I couldn't resist the temptation to buy it, because it really has "the look".

Certainly a great early vintage, extensively used baseball ticket stub with beautiful calligraphy...

A couple of new items for one of my favorite teams.

i would also like to know the answer as these seem odd.

Been looking for one of these for years. Logged on to eBay and there it was. And it was grabbed. Weird piece (as its just a generic player) but need for my Gehrig collection. See the same overpriced cards every month after month with bloated buy it nows. But every once in a while.....
