There are two schools of thought when it comes to uncataloged cards/collectibles. Some would say that by being uncataloged their collectible is more valuable, and/or easier to sell, while others say that they would like others to know about their uncataloged stuff and want them included in the Standard Catalog or the Beckett Almanac. I personally am somewhere in the middle, I have several items in my personal collection that are uncatalaloged at the present, and I personally prefer it that way, for now. But I also have some that are interesting and that I will share. I know that many of you on this forum have items that are currently not known, and I think it would be interesting for those willing to share their discoveries to do so. Keep in mind this is purely voluntary, and hopefully Bob Lemke will be able to see the scans and include the new entries in a later edition of the Standard Catalog (maybe even get a shout out at the beginning of the book?). Here are a pair from my collection... |

I still can't figure out why there's about 3 guys on a girls team, not counting the dude in the tophat or the guys in the "band"? Maybe they are "girly mans" |

but make Black Sox collectors salivate, cannot be truly uncatalogued. The one of Cicotte and Weaver clowning in the dugout was a $400 (sic!) copy of the $1000 original seller decided not to sell me at the last minute--and he took his sweet time making me a copy, and put, like, not even "Kodak" on the back. I have NO IDEA who took it, and have never seen it anywhere else. But HE has the original... |

Does the text on the premium give any indication why McAvoy is included in a circa 1931 set when he last played in the majors in 1919? |

I think I read that Joe Wood pitched for a Bloomer Girls team in drag. |

Hadn't heard about the drag part, but Joe Wood did playe for a Bloomers team. So did Rogers Hornsby. |

Bob, I never really understood the 1931 date that was given to this set in the first place, where did that come from? The players included in the set give it much more of a feel of the late teens to the early 20's. From those in the known set, Daubert stopped playing in 1924, Lajoie was no longer playing after 1916, Collins career was pretty much over by the late 1920's. I have a Heinie Groh premium as well (uncataloged) and he stopped playing in 1927. Maybe a new year should be put in the new book, unless there is something you know, that I don't, that points to the year 1931. |

"Seventeen years in professional baseball was the record Jim McAvoy had to his credit when he quit the diamond in 1929..." |

Here is a card of Ernie Kershaw from the Vancouver Senior Amateur Baseball League Card Series (earlier posted in July). I believe over 90 players have been identified. Crowds in the senior amateur league regularly ranged from 1,000 to 3,000 fans. After senior ball, Ernie Kershaw played for the Vancouver Capilanos in the Western International League. (Somehow, I think these cards are way away from the Standard Catalogue) |
