I'm sick of all this damn money talk; let's have a virtual card show

[GeoPoto]

Goose Goslin

Leon A. "Goose" Goslin. Left fielder for the Washington Senators in 1921-1930, 1933, and 1938. 2,735 hits and 248 home runs in 18 MLB seasons. 1936 All-Star. 1924 and 1935 World Series champion. 1928 AL batting champion. 1924 AL RBI leader. 1968 inducted to the MLB Hall of Fame.

Goslin drove in the game-winning, walk-off run to win the 1935 World Series for the Detroit Tigers. With Gehringer and Greenberg, was one of the Detroit "G-Men". In 1936 he had an inside-the-park HR when both outfielders (Joe DiMaggio and Myril Hoag) collided and were knocked unconscious. He had one of his best seasons for the WS-winning Washington Senators in 1924 as he posted a .421 OBP with 100 runs scored and 129 RBI's in 674 plate appearances.

Goose didn't get along with Walter Johnson and spent 1930-32 in St. Louis. On Opening Day, April 12 1932, Goslin came up to the plate against the Chicago White Sox with a bat that featured 12 longitudinal green stripes. The bat was thrown out of the game, and on the following day, American League President William Harridge declared the "zebra bat" illegal, as it caused a distraction to the fielding team.

When Johnson was fired after the 1932 season, Goslin let Clark Griffith know he would be happy to return to DC. Griffith got Goslin included in a trade and he returned to Washington to become part of the AL pennant-winning 1933 Senators. That explains the 1933 cards showcasing Goose's batting pose as a Washington Senator; the 1931 card on the other hand was issued after Goose had been with the Browns for at least one full season.

I feel obligated to run through some additional goofy Zeenut cards before I post anything else...a 1923 of Sky High Charlie High.

I knew Leon's cdv looked familiar...I have the same one (well, not the exact same one, but the same pose). You can't always trust the pencil dating on the back of cdvs, but 1867 seems about right.

[brianp-beme]

Nick Dumovich evidently displayed a bashful nature while on the pitching mound.

Brian

[Kawika]

A couple of horizontal Zees.

Brian, I’m loving the goofy pose Zeenuts. David, those are some seriously sweet cards. So much sweet stuff in this thread.

Thanks Ed, your D310 calvacade is most impressive, and David always has the good stuff to post.

As for me, for the next few posts I will stick with the funny Zees. Here is one of straight man John Knight.

Might have shown this zee before but here it is again as a funny one

[edjs]

So, this is the last Sacramento card in the set. I’ll give it a rest on the D310s for a bit. Maybe finish off the digital set here in a while.

I wonder about this card, if it was blank backed originally or not.

[MikeGarcia]

...the one without any ID on the front is his Burke 4 x 6 ....that picture was used on several magazine covers too.............he has some great Exhibits , too

...

[qed2190]

Something from 1895.

[brianp-beme]

1920 Zeenut of Elmer Cox, who has had the middle of his body condensed for our viewing pleasure.

Brian

[Kawika]

Buck Weaver and Hal Chase playing catch.

[brianp-beme]

The D310 of Buck Weaver is my dream card.

Green Ruths

[brianp-beme]

I guess it is best to follow a Babe Ruth Trio with my final goofy Zeenut. This one is a 1913 card of Bill Leard. With the 'everything is wrong about this' batting stance displayed on the card, it is shocking that Bill made it up to the majors for 3 games in 1917.

I'm going to guess blank back, very cool. Can't wait to get back in this thread this weekend!

Am I Crazy or is that a lot of gum?


1922 W575-1 Strip Card by Greg Martin, on Flickr

[brianp-beme]

Sam Crawford card with blank back (with artwork seen in the E95 set), which was cut out of a cover of a Base Ball Series Notebooks that featured E95 and E96 cards.

Arrelanes was arguably the first Mexican American big leaguer. Sadly died of the Spanish flu in 1918

[Exhibitman]

This is the rare Johnny Evers Warrior Pose yoga card.

[brianp-beme]

1936 S & S Game cards of Kiki Cuyler, both fairly uncommon tan back and the common green back. Note the misspelling of Cuyler's last name on the tan back version seen on the left. It would logically lead one to believe that the tan back cards were issued before the green backs.

Never noticed the backs of these cards before...they are really nice.

And I like the idea of bread sending out radio signals.

How about another Jersey City Skeeters representative...

How about a random M101-4 Sporting News Robertson?

Here’s another Paul.

This was the first prewar Exhibit I ever purchased. I got it about 30 years ago from John Spalding at a show in North Hollywood, CA, along with a group of others. Over the next year or two I purchased a ton of prewar Exhibits and other cards from John. He was a nice and helpful collector; RIP. For those who didn't know John, from his obit:

"John wrote and self-published five books, four about minor league baseball in the 19th Century California League ("Always on Sunday") and the 20th Century Pacific Coast League ("Pacific Coast Stars," Vols. 1 & 2, and "Sacramento Senators and Solons") , and concluded his days as an author in 2000 with "A History of Sports in Santa Clara County, 1900-1999." As one of the country's major collectors of pre-1942 sports cards and memorabilia, John was a regular columnist from the 1970s into the late 1990s for numerous sports collector publications, including Sports Collectors Digest, the hobby's most influential publication."
