Here's another recent purchase of mine this month. Another great card and tough combo. Definitely looks better then a 2.



That's probably it for big purchases for the year. I'll continue with the small ones though.

1932-38 Vancouver Peanuts (Vancouver Senior Amateur League)

[v117collector]

I remember there was a some talk trying to pin pointing a date for this Peanuts. Do you have any new information regarding distribution between 1932-38?

Very nice card

[Z-NUT]

Thanks, the only good info I have on these is from the net54 board (look below). Leon has one, Max Weder has a few, not sure how many other boardmembers have these?

Excerpt from Net54 Post from January 2008:

Here is another type card that I was unaware of until
Mark Macrae sent out an email about them.
This was the only horizontal one in the group for sale.
With Mark's approval (hi Mark) he has said I could put this
information out to all interested on Net54 .....


1932-1938 VANCOUVER PEANUT CARDS

These exceptionally rare cards feature players from the Vancouver
Senior Amateur League. They were distributed in bags of peanuts sold at Athletic Park
in Vancouver and were issued from 1932-1938. There are several different
sizes & designs which were issued over the years. This issue has never been
checklisted or catalogued. Cards are Black & White with blank backs. While sizing
varies (No two cards below are exactly the same) they are generally around 1 3/4 x
2 3/4. One of the very few groups known of these cards resides
in the permanent collection of the BC Hall of Fame.
The group was assembled over several decades by an advanced Western Canadian collector and were
gifted to the Museum. The closest comparable set I could find is
the 1924 Crescent Ice Cream Hanbury cards, which depict players in a similar
league. These peanut cards, however, are far scarcer.


There are about 100 different subjects, with a likelihood of more
different subjects turning up in the future. Kit Krieger worked on his
collection for several decades, and gifted it to the BC Hall of Fame
several years ago. The cards are not on public display to my knowledge,
but are available for viewing by making an appointment. The consignor
of these cards is a friend of Kit's and has collected whatever info he
could from Kit, along with the families of some of the players.They are
generically dated as 1930's because they were issued over several
different years. Pinning down specific players , designs and teams is
going to take some doing. The League was "Senior Amateur League" and
finding accurate comprehensive rosters from that league will be like
tracking down rosters from the Dallas Little League in the 50's.

Ahh.. Now I remember, Thanks for posting!

There was a few large ebay lots that sold right after that net54 posting. I think around 60+ Vancouver peanuts cards in total, not sure who the winner was or if he sold them off, ether way he got a bargain!

Good looking Elberfeld, Scott. Congrats and keep chugging along.

Here is one of my latest pickups for my slowly growing '33 Goudey HOF set.
I looked for quite a while trying to find one that I thought was nice enough prior to pulling the trigger on this one.

[Bicem]

great centering on that one Brian!

[cmoking]

That's a great-looking Gehrig!

[crazylocomerk]

My two newest additions.



and this awesome T216 Dots Miller that arrived today. This is the St. Louis fielding variation. This is the only one graded by any of the grading companies, and the first one I have ever seen. I'm stoked to have this one.

[asphaltman76]

Nice Eric

Was that T216 in Mastro? If it was I completely overlooked it.
