Any Police Gazette Supplement collectors out there?

[cdn_collector]

Was roaming around Old Cardboard's web site, as I some times do, and started looking at the M128 Police Gazette Supplements checklist. Admittedly, this is an issue that I very very unfamiliar with.

Anyway, I see that the August 12, 1905 issue contained a 1905 Pittsburg Team supplement. That's about 5 weeks after George Gibson made his debut with the Pirates. I'm curious whether or not he's in the picture.

Any chance somebody out there has a scan of that supplement?

And while I have your attention, if you own any M128 that you want to share, please do!

Thanks!

Richard.

I don't collect them but have 2...and hope to acquire at least the Matty in the future. Here they are with their 1915 W-Unc cards also. This Thorpe M128 is in a full magazine. (Scans aren't to size and each of the M128s and cards are their respective same size)

I just have this one:

I have a few. Have a Wheat that I will try and find. Here is Wheat on a cover.

Alas, I only have 1 myself.

Nice Matty rookie!!

There was one that sold recently on eBay w/o the Police Gazette on top. Went for well more than I expected.

I hope to own one some day as well.

Richard,
I have the 1905 Pirates supplement, but there are no IDs printed on it and my scanner is too small to capture the image. I tried to emulate Mark Fimoff, but I can't be certain Gibson is among the 16 players pictured. I recognize most of the usual subjects (Wagner, Clarke, Leach, Phillippe, even Heine Peitz, but there are a couple of guys who "could" be Gibson.

Hey Richard,

Here is a scan of the Pittsburg team 1905 N128 Police Gazette Supplement.
I have had this for a number of years & had it framed.
Don't know about George Gibson, but hope this helps.

Looking at the Police Gazette Supplement, George Gibson is not present. I do, however, see catcher Heinie Peitz with his arms folded in the back row 2nd player in on the right.

Hey Paul,

Not sure how I missed this for over a month, but thanks for posting the full scan. It's the first time I've seen the entire supplement at once.

And I agree with Patrick, definitely no Gibson in the picture. Too bad, as that would have been super cool, but after all these years (I see that I started this thread in 2013!) I'm glad to finally know for sure.

Richard.

This is my only supplement from The National Police Gazette. Has Wagner and Cy Young. From 1904 with what I believe is Gibson front and center for the Pirates team photo.

Oh man, you had me going for a moment, but if the supplement is from 1904, then it's too early. The Pirates didn't purchase Gibson's contract until June, 1905. If memory serves, in January of 1904 he was still technically with Buffalo, having not yet even been traded/sold/lent to Montreal yet.

Thinking about it now, though, those pictures must be the 1903 World Series teams, eh? That's actually even cooler. Thanks for sharing it!

Wow, I had no idea that one existed, it's not in the catalog as a baseball issue, so I had overlooked it.

That's one more for my want list...

[pherbener]

Here's my 1911 Matty. It's huge! I put a T3 near it for comparison.

Love the Police Gazette stuff. Papers or supplements you can’t go wrong. Don’t have any supplements to show so here is a complete paper.
