Anyone figure out what the printing plates are for? looks like 2 dif sizes...

Love the T216-2 Plank, E286 Bender, and R306 Foxx

and that E90-1 Joss is a toughy in the set too.

The printing plates are two different sizes. The one of the man batting measures 2 1/16" by 4 5/16 inches. The one of the man on base? measures 1 1/2" by 4 inches (measurements are of the actual plates). They both have I.P.E.U. 156 engraved into the wood and after a quick google search I found that it stands for the "International Photo Engravers Union." Not sure what the 156 stands for but interesting to say the least.

Also, does anyone know anything about the Mack ticket?

Lastly, yes, the cards will be sold. I still need to look through them and organize them but I do intend on selling everything. Items that need to be graded willl be sent out within the next few weeks and everything else will be listed on ebay or consigned sometime soon. Thanks, Jason

I picked up this printing plate with I.P.E.U. 402 with 404 in pencil and the diamond shape but have not been able to find out anything about it. It measures 1 3/4" by 3 1/16". Good luck with finding out about yours.

FYI to the original poster, those pics take up a lot of bandwidth because of all the black background that should be cropped out.

No need to upgrade to pro - just switch to using an image host that is free.

I love that Moline ticket...Connie Mack owned all of the Athletics minor league clubs. I have two similar tickets for Lincoln Athletics games in 1948.

Hi,
Sorry for bringing back an old topic but I still receive emails about the status of the cards. I realized I was in over my head so I sent the nicer cards off to Goodwin. The auction ends February 11th [L=Link]http://www.goodwinandco.com/default.aspx[/L].

This is the first time I have consigned an item to an auction house so hopefully they do well and sorry for hyping up my cards on the boards.

I'm sure many of you will be happy to know that most of the cards safely reside in SGC holders now.
