Tim,

To be honest, I couldn't find them in the SCD Catalog and I picked up a Hornsby in an auction for the minimum, because I thought it was cool, but had no idea regarding value, or even if they were listed somewhere. Thanks to most of the guys here, they've answered most of those questions....do they have a premium when it comes to price?

The difference in prices for the two shown in my 2013 Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards are interesting...

A regular Kashin common (pgs. 227-8) is listed at $12 in VG, $20 in EX, and $40 in NM.

A 5"x7" Premium common (pgs. 346-7) is listed at $15 in VG, 25 in EX, and $50 in NM.

To me, the prices for the premiums should be a lot higher due to their scarcity when compared to the regular Kashin issue. Maybe things have changed in the last 7 years?

(BTW, the Hornsby premium is only listed at $25 in VG, $45 in EX, and $90 in NM, while the regular Kashin Hornsby is listed at $50 in VG, $85 in EX, and $175 in NM.)

Here's the one that Leon used to own, crossed to PSA. And a Gehrig also.

I miss him. What a great photo!

Anybody who wants to sell me 5x7 premiums at the prices below, I've got cash ready for ya!

Seriously, I would say the premiums generally go for 3x4 times those prices now, depending on player. '

The Hornsby listing you quote is just a flat-out error, even in 2013.

Charles Conlon seems to be the source for these images. His stamped/signed prototypes turn up in auctions. Quite often the art department messed with them by coloring in the eyes, that sort of thing. RMY has one in his current auction.
