A few of my cards

1910 J=K Candy, Tesreau.  These cards originally graced both sides of  J. Koenigsberg candy boxes. Two types of J=K cards exist: a "head above card" style (shown below) which are in color, and a smaller version which has the player photo within the border, and was produced in black & white.  Several new players have been discovered & cataloged since the turn of the century.  

1934 D382 Tarzan Bread.  Although I've never seen an example myself, these cards had to have had a coupon attached at the bottom originally.  As seen above, the remnants of a coupon remain...with perforation lines.  Tarzan's may as well be the king of the vintage card jungle, to estimate that 50 of them exist is probably generous.  I'm fortunate enough to have these two.

 

1925 V31 Dominion's Chocolate.  Long thought to be an issue that didn't include baseball cards, a recent discovery proved that at least two exclusive baseball players were produced.  Joe Breen appears in a baseball uniform, and the backside of the card confirms that he was a "Toronto Varsity baseball star".  I haven't been able to make out the club/team on his jersey, but I'm certain it's a college uniform, or that of an organized professional team.  This Dominion's set is recognized in the ACC catalog as V31, and the cards originally came with a redeemable coupon attached to the bottom (one can be seen on my home page).  The V31 has 120 cards to the set, and features Canadian athletes and athletic teams.  Only two different baseball cards have been found to exist to date, both of which are extremely rare. 

1913 Voskamps Coffee.  A favorite of mine, this small set features 20 Pirates players from the 1913 team.  Produced by Pittsburgh grocer B. H. Voskamp's Sons. 

1916 Tango Eggs.  Any set that stays completely hidden for three quarters of a century has to have some charm to it!  Finally discovered to exist in the early 1990's, this small 20 card set was turned up in New Orleans, where it was originally made for L. Frank & Company.  Disputing quantities for the total population of Tango's have been reported, which pegs it anywhere between 500-800 total cards.  The Bescher card is by far the most common card in the set, but other players have less than five known examples.  Because the cards were protected and not exposed to handling over the years, most examples are found in great condition.

1923 Lections. One of the hobby's more recent discoveries, Lections weren't public knowledge until 1997.  Speculation was made common knowledge in 2005 that Lections cards were created as a counterpart to "Election" cards.  These featured political figures on cards looking almost exactly like Lections, with a head shot of the candidate.  "Election" cards were obviously created as a marketing piece, and distributed to local voters in upstate New York.  Lection's were intended for the children of these adult voters, and a game that involved flipping them is said to have become popular. A recent find of Lections not previously accounted for has pushed the population of the issue to about 150 total cards. 

1926-28 Schapira Brothers Big Show Candy.  An elusive and tough to spot issue, less than twenty different players are currently on SCD's checklist.  Holke and Dykes were added to the SCD checklist in 2004, with each of these cards being unique to my knowledge.  

1928 Tabacalera La Morena: Jim Bottomley.  Daffy looking issue said to have been produced in El Salvador, the cards stand out because of their strange color tinting.  The backside gives a brief bio of the player or scene depicted on the front (many of these cards feature baseball scenes or multiple players). Only a dozen or so different cards have turned up, and recently a hockey card was discovered, making the set a multi-sport issue. 

1929 Leader Novelty Candy Company: Jimmie Foxx.  Above, neat small issue.

1929 W553: Rogers Hornsby & Burleigh Grimes.  Sometimes referred to as "Ornate Borders" collectors are still piecing together the parameters of this set.  Appearing in several different color tints, the photo's used for this issue were also featured on R316 Kashin's and 1929 Leader Novelty Candy cards. 

 

  1933 Uncle Jacks, Babe Herman.  A Depression era issue at its best, UJ's are found in four color tints: purple, navy, red and green (only recently discovered).  Simple cards with a player photo and name bar, the backs are blank. 

 

1933 R306 Butter Cream.  An attractive issue not only due to its rarity, but rather its unusual size and unique presentation. 

E145-1 Cracker Jack - Honus Wagner
