Pre-war premiums...

[Leon]

A fairly inexpensive way to collect pre-war stuff is by collecting premiums. Here is one I just picked up. If anyone has any they would like to show we would love to see them.....regards

[novakjr]

I also have the '26 Gehrig and the '39 Williams. Just no scanner or cam at the moment. I'm really starting to love the m114's, and they look great framed.

Now going for the Sporting News Supplements run.....this is probably one of the scarcer series of them....though not positive, I just know I haven't see a whole lot of them....1932 M101-8...............and a very early Dean card...

[bcbgcbrcb]

Very nice, Leon, the dash-9's are also tough as well

[Exhibitman]

Coincidentally this came in the mail today:

[Jacklitsch]

1926 Sporting News Supplement M101-7

[Phil Arem]

Leon:
I have the same 1939 pirates premium. Is there a check list/price of these anywhere? I particularly liked the fact that Wagner appears as a coach in the photo.
regards
Phil

Leon -

Is there a date on that Dean? There are 4 M101-8s that I know of :

Jerome H (Dizzy) Dean - unknown (to me) date
Vernon Gomez - unknown (to me) date
Charles John Grimm - Sept 1, 1932
Lonnie Warneke - Aug 4, 1932

I love that Willard's Ruth, Matt...great image.

My contribution -

[fkw]

1933 M114 with vintage autograph




Then I got this 2 sided thing which is probably ca.1948 and maybe a premium?
( I have 4 of them, and seen 6 others, no dups)

Hi Doug
According to the SCD those are the 4 in the set. There is no date on the Dean I am told. I don't have it in hand yet but I believe that is the case.

[ethicsprof]

great Ruth!!!
was that one supposed to come to me?

best,
barry

[Brian Van Horn]

Leon,

When are you moving to Pittsburgh? Premiums from Duquesne Pilsener and the Pittsburgh Milk cards from 1947.

[ecRich]

1929 (R316 like) 5x7 photos
1935 Hamlins Saf-t-shav shaving cream White Sox premium- this is not an R311

Rich

[Clutch-Hitter]

Awesome premiums!

Since Howard (HBroll) hasn't posted his full size version yet:

[ecRich]

A couple 1935 Greenberg newspaper premiums.
Detroit Free Press
Detroit Sunday Times

[doug.goodman]

From the St Louis Republic in 1909...

[wrapperguy]

These Goudey premiums are not rare but are the toughest of the R303 varieties. Still need to find 6 to finish the set.

[thegashousegang]

Some M101-2 supplements - classify them however you'd like, they are some affordable additions to my 'card' collection.

[Leon]

Red Sox w/ad card.

[JLange]

Not sure why but this issue only had five subjects, and three were team photos. Would love to see the DiMaggio or any of the teams if someone has them to share.

[doug.goodman]

Here are the rest of the 1939 series...

[HBroll]

1-Quaker Oats
2-Fro-Joy
3-Esso
4-Unknown 8 x 10 photo on heavy cardboard. Not sure if this is a premium or not but its a really nice photo of Ruth.

Thanks Dave! It's a shame with that Ruth, as with many others in this thread, that despite the clarity it has at a very large size, it doesn't come across sufficiently when shrunk to the size needed for this thread.

[dstudeba]

[JLange]

Thanks for sharing Doug!

[triwak]

Fun thread!

[matty39]

I have shown these before.

[Clutch-Hitter]

Nice Image, thanks Leon

[Exhibitman]

HBroll: That last Ruth is a publicity photo from one of his times in Hollywood working in movies. It was used as the base photo for this Exhibit card:



Is the name on the front part of the image or is it handwritten? If the latter, you would have the original art for the card.

[HBroll]

Hi Exhibitman,
Thanks for the info on my Ruth photo. Unfortunately his signature is part of the image and not handwritten. I checked the 2011 SCD and it says that Exhibit card is the rarest Exhibit card to feature Ruth. Would you have any idea what my photo would be worth? And is it as scarce as the Exhibit card itself? Thanks.
Howard
