Nice vintage Red Sox

Phenomenal cards there! Give us some background on those Dave.

Posted by: finestkind Apr 14 2008, 12:31 AM

Sure thing Willy

A lot of people have modern day player collections. Since I don't collect modern day players, I started a pre-war card collection of players named Hogan (my last name) shhh don't tell anyone. The Exhibit card I won on Ebay last year for a 50th birthday present to myself. The Home Run Kisses I bought on a pre-war message board. The cards run from 1887 in poor condition to that card and one or two other graded cards. I have about 30 cards with people named Hogan in all kinds of sports from lacrosse to jockies to boxing and baseball. It took me a while to find that Exhibit card I could afford. I've seen them from $350 to $1250 on Ebay, dealer catalogs and vintage websites.

It's not a card as in the traditional since....just a real photo postcard.

Willy.. good to see you posting. It's from the Turkey Red T-3 series from about 1910. I picked it up in a trade here on TCC. My great grand father had the first Pope-Hartford dealership in Worcester Massachusetts.

Posted by: 1968 A's Nov 4 2008, 10:55 PM

Wow! 1910!!! Wow, the first dealer!!! Was he the first dealer in the U.S. you mean? or in Worcester? I've never heard of Pope-Hartford. Was that an American built car with English parts do you know?

Posted by: finestkind Nov 5 2008, 12:34 AM

My mother tells me he was the first car dealer in Worcester. They sold Pope-Hartford automobiles. That were produced in Connecticut. Here's a website about the http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z10060/Pope-Hartford-Touring.aspx

Nice card, Dave.

I don't know much about the Zee-Nut cards
but I intend to find out.

I picked these up when I met Jeremy (Ilovetheheat)
in November of 2008.

I only have one real vintage vintage, and I'm pretty sure you've seen it already, but:





Ken Williams was the first ever 30-30 hitter.

Clearly I ....uh....didn't buy it for the condition.

Nice cards guys.

It's very relaxing for me to see these vintage items.

Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Sep 19 2009, 07:56 AM

1935 Al Demaree Die Cut

Posted by: 1968 A's Oct 13 2009, 12:05 PM

Nice!!! Is that a cut out or a pre cut?

Posted by: finestkind Oct 13 2009, 05:12 PM

Hi Willie. Glad to see you stopping by. The book I have says it was a fold over kind of card with a tab. Not like a cut out or punch out card.

Posted by: othecardman Oct 24 2009, 09:38 AM

I'm sporting it as my Avatar. 1909-11 Hooks Wiltse. Yeah boooyyyeee.lol

It's in very good condition and I keep it hid in my private stash, w/ Griffey UD #1.

Something a little different

http://img532.imageshack.us/i/scan0001dk.jpg/



I'm originally from Worcester Mass. The Oval was originally built for track and field games. From 1893 to 1907 the New England Intercollegiate Games were held here. Other events included bicycle racing and Gaelic football games.

The first baseball team to use the Oval was the 1894 New England League Club and the last team was 1904 Connecticut League team the was transferred to Norwich, CT.

Currently the Oval is St. George's Cathedral, no signs of the park exist.

Posted by: finestkind Nov 12 2010, 09:54 PM

I tried my hand at a live auction and won this.

Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Nov 13 2010, 11:42 AM

It says "403 Forbidden"

Posted by: captkirk42 Nov 13 2010, 04:52 PM

I'm surprised nobody else mentioned this but that card showing is 1973 not '74, but you are right '73 was his last card. Technically he was on a '74 card but it wasn't his it was the World Series Game #2 card.

Here is what a '74 card looks like:
1974 Topps Willie MoCovey "Washington National League"


The Padres were rumored to be moving to DC in late '73. Topps thought it (the move) was a sure thing. They produced 15 Padres cards with the "Washington Nat'l Lea." as the team name since a new name hadn't been picked yet. The cards are the same as the regular Padres cards only the team name on the front is different the backs stayed the same. The Washington Variation although rarer is not too difficult to complete a set of now with the internet. Before the internet it was more difficult.

Condition to me in vintage is no matter to me. Nice cards. I'd rather have a hole in my card, that a hole in my collection.

Posted by: captkirk42 Nov 26 2010, 01:10 PM

For a long time this card was the "Oldest" card in my entire Trading Card collection (Sports and Non-Sports). I tell a bit about it on my http://captkirk42.blogspot.com

Now I have some cards from the 1950s so I'm not sure of the year of my oldest card as I also have a handful of Non-Sport tobacco cards (I think I mention them in my TCCBlog somewhere). I think my oldest now is a "Girl of the World" (or some similar title) from the 1930s I think. I need to recheck when I think about it. It is not high on the priorities for my collection though.

Posted by: finestkind Nov 26 2010, 02:27 PM

Nice beater card.


There's a vintage card site where cards in that conditon are called Tiptons. Because of the cards condition issues.

Nice.

Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Dec 30 2010, 01:58 PM

Ooooo. You should try to do a George Mikan collection.

I wish I had new vintage to show. What?

Posted by: Zimbow Jan 1 2011, 03:56 AM

Ahh yes. Finally received my '51 Irvin RC today:

Posted by: 1968 A's Apr 16 2011, 12:43 PM

Yes I've got both of those. Problem was they were very popular right then (1974) and in school those were the cards you showed off. So mine are a little roughed up. I bought a complete set also that year from Larry Fritsch but they were the corrected San Diego version.

Posted by: Zimbow Jun 18 2011, 03:22 PM

Then my '57 set....so far...

These are the start of my vintage collection




The Ruth I believe is from a set in 63, not sure on the name, where the cards came in a booklet with many of the greats of the game. I have a few others from the set but the Ruth is by far my favorite.

Posted by: captkirk42 Jun 19 2011, 08:17 PM

Ben,

Found where the Ruth came from via http://www.checkoutmycards.com/Cards/Baseball/1961/Golden_Press/3/Babe_Ruth/1811126. 1961 Golden Press. Then did a Google search to verify in case comc was off on some of the info.

This auction site? shows the book cover http://sports.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=47051&lotNo=12214

Here is an online visual checklist. http://www.vintagecardtraders.com/virtual/61golden_press/61golden_press.html

It's a beautiful set.

Posted by: saints94 Jun 20 2011, 03:29 PM

Thank you Kirk for the info. I knew the set came from the early 60's just not exactly sure when. After looking at the virtual card collection I have more to the set than I thought at first. I think these cards are my favorites of my collection and always will be.

Posted by: Zimbow Jun 20 2011, 03:52 PM

got some more goodies that came in today. I'll get scanner fired up here in a bit, and ready the scans!
