Description: This week I'm offering a number of old baseball photos and other collectibles. Baseball Magazine was published from 1907 to 1957 and was the dominant sports publication of its time. Beginning in 1910, they issued unique and distinctive premiums for readers choosing to subscribe. These mini-posters showcased the greatest players of the time and were printed on slick, high-quality paper. The early versions of these premiums measured about 9 1/2" x 18" and are designated as M113 in the hobby catalogs. After about 1916, the size became standardized at 9 1/2 x 12" and are labeled as M114. The set is known for its sepia-toned photos and the wide white border around those photos. Overall, about 500 different photos were issued over a period spanning nearly 50 years, and if you count minor variations in the captions, the number swells to almost twice that total. Because they were designed as posters, they are frequently found either trimmed or with pinholes at the corners. The ones issued from 1954-1957 reflect the magazine's declining years, are very rare, and are notable for having "Washington D.C" as a copyright caption, instead of the more common "New York." These pieces remain highly collectible and popular.Here I have a 1941 piece showing Sam Chapman. It's clean and in very nice shape, except for some tiny nicks in the bottom border (see scan for condition). Not too bad for an item that's nearly eighty years old!. This would be a terrific addition to any collection! Shipping is $4.00 for First Class Mail or $8.00 for Priority Mail, and postage will be combined for multiple winnings.
