hes definately a military guy, hes got period era boots on and the thin undershirt on instead of the wool top,and hes got the same pant on minus the leggings

WinPitcher · September 14, 2008 5:40AM

Rube I meant the guy in civies, is he and the guy in the first picture one and the same?

Steve, I don't think so. The first guy has a clearly receeding
hair line, and parts his hair well to the left. The second guy
looks like he parts his hair in the middle, and has a leaner
look.

But that suit jacket!!

The last time I saw something like that was on David Byrne
of the Talking Heads in "Stop Making Sense"!!

We used to take ads for "recreational" drugs and put them on our wall.

"Wizard smoke" and all these crazy fake things they sell in high times magazine. Those were the days!

<Rube I meant the guy in civies, is he and the guy in the first picture one and the same>

i dont think so, he looks alot meaner than the guy in the white in the bedroom pic to me

I wonder if any of those cards ever ended up getting graded.

Sorry cant help with the identification, but thanks for sharing the cool pics.

bman90278 · September 15, 2008 12:28AM

Those are awesome photos. What did Rube do with all of the cards? lol

It's only a matter of time before print copies of those photos are on ebay as originals.

It's been just over a year since this was posted,
so I thought I would give it a bump for any new
members to see, or for any old members who
missed it the first go-round.

In the first picture what year does the calendar say? I can't quite tell but it looks like it ends with 1...maybe 1911 or 1921?

As far as identifying cards I believe the card second from right under the calendar and second from right by window are both Frank Chance T 205 cards

Edit to add: In the first pic

italianstallionyankees · October 4, 2009 12:36AM

T-206 and t-205 website!

Thanks for the thread resurrection... I missed it when it was originally posted. Very cool photos.

I can't make it out, Matt, but when I found this
image on the UseNet last year, it was identified
as a "dorm" from "1911".

thanks for the thread bump. very neat pictures for sure.

Dboneesq · October 5, 2009 4:56AM

GREAT Picture. That kid in the dorm room looks like he came right off one of the T-206s. LOL

2dueces · October 5, 2009 5:00AM

1911 would make the most sense as both issues T205 and T206 were issued that year.

Chisty is top right and the 3rd card down is E.M. Ruelbach

MisterBungle · October 5, 2009 6:23AM

Help me out, Marc.

Are you talking about the top right in the group
behind the guys head?? The third one down
looks like a cowboy card, like Buffalo Bill or
somebody.

I just looked up the Ruelback 206 on an old
eBay sale and it looks like the third one down
on the third vertical row from the right. Is
that the one you're talking about??

I don't know much about these old cards or
players, but would like to learn. I just looked
in my old "Total Baseball" book for Ruelbach
and didn't see him listed in the pitchers. I'll
keep looking.

That'd be me! Thanks for bringing this thread up again -- the pics make great PC wallpaper!

MisterBungle · May 1, 2013 1:40AM

Well, it's been 3 and a half years since we've
visited this old thread. There are bound to
be lots of members who have joined since
and would enjoy this study.

...and of course there is always the odd
old timer who missed it the first two times.

Enjoy the read.

Awesome photo! >>

Marc is this true?

OP - are you a Tomahawk fan....is this new album worth checking out?

mygotta · May 1, 2013 2:46AM

they could be photogravure which are better in contrast and clarity.

Thanks for the bump....I have never seen this!

Military School makes sense to me.
Cool images. A window back in time.

Really off topic here, but yes, I do like Tomahawk. As far as the new
album goes, you can check it out on YouTube, here...

The 2nd picture is a "Sports Bar". In the first picture I think the calendar is June 1913.

On topic, if Patton collected I have a weird feeling he would have some well loved examples from the pictures...think PSA grades 1-4...

Thanks for the links.
