About the Da Bronx .....
Quote:
The goy on the right is saying ..... "Carry me back to Old Kentucky." And the guy on the left never had a clue that in about 40 years, he would go to Da Bronx, and do pretty well there. So much for boredom.  BTW Jay, those are great loookin cards. Last edited by Potomac Yank; 09-11-2009 at 02:52 PM. Reason: I was so bored, I left out the "e" in boredom.

Is the general interest in the T210 set a fairly recent thing? I started collecting pre-war cards back in 2000-01 with the T206 set, and vaguely remember bypassing a lot of cheap red borders on ebay back then. I've been out of collecting for 4-5 years, so was a little surprised to see some of the prices on the red borders - I checked the most recent SCD price guide I have (2002) and sure enough the prices seem to match my recollection.

Golly, Jay. What can I say about it... a few of us understand the beauty of these Old Mill red border Bluegrass League cards, and most of the folks could care less. I do thank you for posting it...
Leo Thomas Angermeier played in over 600 professional games. A catcher. In 1921 he hit .321 for the pennant winning Frankfort Statesmen. His average was 84 points better than the next best hitting team-mate. His 147 hits was high for the team; and his 17 doubles tied for team best. He handled the pitchers, anchored the team, and was a main reason they won the pennant. I knew you had that card with his grin and that large catcher's mitt. If I ever stop by for a visit you need to be sure you don't leave that card laying around. Or if you find yourself with a duplicate one day, hollar down Kentucky way. While that's a beautiful Stengel, it is Angermeier with that glove that I'd ask for, if offered both. How many folks here would say that??? And David, your Goostree leaning on his bat, that is a great card!!! I see that "A" on there, and to some it isn't as attractive as those "50's" you've posted, but that's a really nice, tough card. Second nicest to me is that card of Jeff Tesreau (now how did he get to be called 'Jeff'?). He was a solid pitcher for Mr. McGraw in 1912. McGraw's other starters we've all heard of because of T206... Mathewson, Marquard, Ames, and Wiltse. But I don't think the Giants can win like they did if they'd lost Tesreau and replaced him with a .500 pitcher. I'd not seen a Tesreau card, just knew it was on Mr. Lipset's list. If you find yourself with a spare one that's a bit worn, please let me know!

One of my favorites
Hubbard "Hub" Northen - Outfielder
Led Houston to the Texas League Championship in 1910 with a .311 BA and a team leading 160 hits, 7 triples, and 6 HR. Minors, 15 seasons, .270 BA, 42 HR - Managed 4 seasons Majors (SLB, CIN, BRO) 3 seasons (162 games), .272 BA, 3 HR  Highlights: October 9, 1910, During the first game of a double header, Hub Northen “fell all over himself” trying to field a fly ball hit by Nap Lajoie that ended up being a triple. Lajoie got seven more base hits during the twinbill, all of them bunts. This "enabled" Lajoie to overtake Ty Cobb for the season’s batting title. On September 16, 1912, Casey Stengel made his first major league appearance in the place of Hub, who was sick that day. Stengel got four hits and a walk that day. Northen was released at the end of the season, his last in the big leagues. Northen is also in the T207 set.

ScottFandango, you need to stay away from Robert Dixon and folks like that. Obviously, Robert was chomped on hard by the T210 bug. Great post, Robert. Scott, if that bug ever bites you, you might not ever recover...

A few years ago I picked up a group of backed individual photo's of the 1916 (I think) Columbus Georgia team. They had originally been on a large display but had to be cut down due to very bad water damage. Interested in learning more about these men, I found some had T210's and my search was on.
Here are a few of those photo's alongside their card.
