May Pick-Ups

Thanks Scott...it is definitely not Dan Tobey - identified on the reverse as "Toby"...I sure wish I knew who it was. Tobey is actually pictured on a postcard from this same series, but he's easily identifiable as a caucasian.



The third and last card in this series (that I'm aware of)

Nice pick-up, Dan! I saw that in Jon's recent offerings, and wondered if it would wind up in your collection

And that Mantle photo, yowza! That's the kind of veination you usually only see on comic book superheroes!

I haven't seen much interest here in the old Spalding and Reach guides, but I just picked up the 1911 and 1912 Spalding College Baseball Guides. These are incredibly tough to find and the seller still has the 1914 book left. Lots of team photos, just like their other guides. If you think you may ever want one of these, this is the time to grab it.

And if anyone needs info on any college teams that might be in the 1911 or 1912 ones, let me know and I'll scan for you.

My last pick up for a while, due to a job loss.. but I found this was REALLY cool. Something bout the combination of baseball and the stories of the men who died in 1927 hit me. I really wanted to get this..

Scott, that album is wonderful, and well worth the purchase price imho. If you ever have too many second thoughts about it, I don't think you would have any trouble finding it a new home. Best of luck, and congrats on a nice pick-up!
