1939 Centenial (sic) Stamp set- HOF collectors?

[rhettyeakley]

Leon, I never noticed the "Centenial" spelling on the front!

They came as a set with a small album (more like a pamphlet really) that you see from time to time. The stamps are surprisingly tough to find, especially if looking for a particular player. I am not aware of anything "baseball related" made before these that featured Bulkeley that in any way could be deemed a "card" even by the loosest of definitions. Bulkeley was only involved w/ baseball for a very short time during his life and is arguably the most undeserving of BBHOF member of all time...I mean really, Bulkeley is in the Hall but A. J. Reach isn't?

Leon:

Here are two items, a c1880's Matthew Brady Cabinet Card and a 1908 George Wright (not the ballplayer) Postcard. I used to own the postcard and have been searching for the cabinet card for a long time, good luck ever finding this one.................

Awesome Cabinet, Phil! Here's a close-up scan of the 1908 postcard:

Thanks Guys...and my guess is if that cabinet came to market it would fetch a pretty penny.....

These little stamps are kind of neat (and cheap except for a few high priced BIN's)

Here's the stamp album (I believe, since mine doesn't have any stamps in it)

These stamps say Demaree on them and that cover has one of the stamps. That is it. Thanks for sharing..

Max, that is the album that I was referring to BUT yours seems to be a special edition or something as I don't remember seeing any that were as ornate as your album.
