New here- Opinions on this ancient scorekeeper

MrRick

Greetings, New to the forum here, but I've been a card collector for years. I've always been interested in vintage material primarily (ie, Goudey, T-206's, '50's Topps, etc). However, my mother in law is cleaning out her basement & bringing me all kinds of odd things to sell for her. One is baseball related.

As you can see, it's a playing card sized scorekeeper. Easy to date because the reverse has the schedule for the 1912 St Louis Browns. I haven't seen much re: these. Anyone have any experience w/ these? Common? Worth pursuing a sale or stick it in w/ my vintage cards?

Thanks for any info

Thanks for those. I did find one or two that were close on other sites like etsy as well. The only ones I've seen so far were blank back w/ no team affiliation. I figure that having a team on there can only help its value. Personally, I'd keep it. But when your mother in law gives it to you to sell (splitting the amount 50/50 w/ me), I'd feel like I needed to pay her at least half of what it'd sell for. If I was going to spend that much, I'd buy an old card instead

Very cool item, thanks for sharing!

That is cool. I had a plastic white one in the 70s that I got from turning in so many Bazooka Joe comics.
