I'm sick of all this damn money talk; let's have a virtual card show

[bn2cardz]

I know it isn't a card as defined, but close enough

The first owner of the organization now known as the St. Louis Cardinals. St. Louis Brown's owner, Chris Von Der Ahe.

1954 Rodine Baseball Hall of Fame PC. A really rare/obscure but well done postwar set of prewar players that I have been collecting for years.

[GasHouseGang]

Can't go wrong with a classic.

Revisiting an earlier theme...

[CobbSpikedMe]

Another beautiful Lionel Carter card to follow the previous one.

I think maybe Lionel carried that one around in his pocket.

Jake Stahl looks pissed.

A fairly tough Wagner. I was surprised the graded pop is less than 50.

Thanks and yes.

Sorry, Ed...

[Kenny Cole]

Jim McCormick, who I still hope gets into the HOF.

[Exhibitman]

Another day, another Rodine.

[Bliggity]

One of my favorites. Give me "1"s like this all day.

I think at this point anything made of cardboard (or paper, for that matter) can be considered a card, and most people would say a cabinet card is a "card". At least I hope so, because here is my "card" for the day: Von der Ahe's team. In case anyone is wondering, the grade is based on some erased pencil writing on the back.

Today's card is a Sociedade Industrial from my type set.

I would like to see some more of these (and even the color tinted Tabacalera la Morena versions) if you have them!

Mnn, OK

[Exhibitman]

So this is the last Rodine I have. It is the premium referenced on the bottom of the PC I showed earlier this week. About 8 x 10, same card stock. If anyone is in love with it, I also have a second one available for trade:

Original "King"

[GeoPoto]

Jim Whitney came into MLB in 1881 with the Boston Red Caps and led the NL in wins that rookie season. Two years later, still with Boston now the Beaneaters, he not only led the NL in strikeouts, but posted a 37-21 record and a 2.24 ERA in 514 innings pitched. In the pre-rubber era Whitney came up in, his distinctive way of hopping toward the front of the pitcher's box as he delivered, gained him the nickname "Grasshopper". Sadly, he finished his career with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1890 and then died (of TB) the following year at the age of 33. Grasshopper pitched for the Washington Senators in 1887-1888 and left this baseball card.

Old 1920 PCl card?

[glchen]

Here's another set.

[brianp-beme]

I have always liked this George Connally Sport Kings card that mysteriously appears complete on front while missing a good portion of the top on the back. Add Jim Thorpe's image, name, and write-up, and you have one humdinger of a funky card.

Holy Moly Larry! I love that all of your cards you have shown are raw...including this Mantle.

Brian

[brianp-beme]

After that Mantle, I feel required to proceed to the opposite end of the spectrum for something that has very little value, but in my eyes is still cool...a beater T205 of Big Bad Bill Dahlen. Please note that my card is still raw too.

Well if anything of cardboard counts I am going with this today:

Nice, man. Those are really cool.
Brandon Crawford has some pretty good talent in the City.

Thanks Ed.

Craw is tough for SF to claim, going to HS in Pleasanton, and originally from the Peninsula (where I grew up). Think the last true SF MLBer was Tyler Walker, and last AS quality guy was probably Willie McGee. Meanwhile the East Bay has produced Jimmy Rollins, Dontrelle Willis, CC Sabathia, and the South Bay guys like Pat Burrell, Troy Tulowitzki, etc. Crazy how many early HOFers came out of SF proper.
