Cap Anson Item - What is it?
5 posters
Page 1 of 1
All kinds of stuff for you guys with knowledge
Ok - there's only 1 card here but a few pictures/prints. One Cap Anson print in a frame, the others look like pages from an old magazine or something. All of the pictures (not the Anson) say "Published by the Baseball Magazine Company, New York" on the bottom. Any idea what these are?
Also what about the card featured? Anything worth having/keeping?

The cap anson is a modern day print, made in the late 1980's i believe. The other non-card items are Baseball Magazine premiums. Given the lack of stars and overall condition, they dont have much value, but look ok framed as display pieces.
Re: Cap Anson Item - What is it?
Thanks for the help. Any value @ all in the entire post? I got all of these as a part of a collection I recently purchased. Guy's grandfather was a collector "he said" but the main part of the purchase was all supplies (top loaders, screw down cases, albums, pages, etc). There were a handful of cards/sets involved as well (recent stuff like the 2002 Topps 206 cards; ARod jersey card; Yankees Upper Deck Championship set, etc).
Didn't know if these were worth hanging on to as they were kinda "throw-ins"

My response got dropped when the subject got moved.
Baseball Magazine had great full page photos. Sadly, most of these magazines are now being cannibalized for these great photos and the rest thrown away. There are great articles in the magazine and give great insight into the game during that time.

I believe that the baseball magazine premiums were inserts and were not actually part of the main magazine, so they did not have to be cut out.
By the way, all of those baseball magazine premiums that you show there are horribly trimmed with all of the borders cut off. As little as they would have been worth if fully intact, in the current condition they are close to worthless.

Yeah, they certainly are not in the greatest condition!! I figured as much considering they were just throw in but I'd be foolish not to have come and ask you guys

The Baseball Magazines posters were indeed NOT part of the magazine themselves and actually weren't really inserts either as they were an item unto themselves. You obtained these photos by paying for them and having them sent to you by the publisher of the mag, however most were obtained as a go along with a years subscription to the mag, you got to choose which photos you got, often there would be older photos that they were still using until the stock was used up, so the date of a Baseball Magazine poster is a bit misleading b/c they had them available for many years afterwards (unless the player was very popular)
