3D DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE, ROCHESTER. N.Y.. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 18. 1991 New Albion producer focuses on artwork for obscure collection WALTERS om Taber never saw Arky Vaughan play baseball.

Nor did he ever meet the man. The Hall of Fame shortstop's career ended 1- IftJJftatoju-tim 1 1 aaJB)Psf 'SSI $Bfc i i in 1948, two years before Taber was born. And Vaughan's life ended in suicide when Taber was two years old. And yet when Taber, a 41-year-old Albion resident, decided to produce artwork for a possible 36-card extended series of a relatively obscure baseball card collection from the mid- v3 1930s, he chose Vaughan as his first subject PLAYING FOB KEEPS The set and decade in question have always fascinated Taber. So much so that one of the most prized pieces in his memorabilia collection might completely bore most other collectors.

"I have the final out ball from the 1937 Newark Bears Little World Series (seventh-game victory) at Columbus," Taber "It's autographed by most of the of 108 cards, which was 132 fewer than the company promised on the backs. "I managed to get some of those Diamond Star cards at an auction in about 1980 in Rochester," Taber said. "Then I noticed in a price guide that they didn't have as many cards as the Goudey sets. "Then, researching it more, I discovered that the company eventually went out of business and that the last 12 cards they did produce were repeats and that about 10 years ago a fellow had found a sheet of 12 unreleased cards. And he produced a set out of that" Meanwhile, Taber's love of the Diamond Star cards continued to grow, so much so that he began to fantasize about doing some cards of his own.

"I started thinking: Who isn't in that set?" Taber said. "Casey Stengel isn't and he was a manager then. And Walter Johnson wasn't in the set Neither were Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig because I imagine they had probably signed an exclusive agreement with Goudey. "DiMaggio was a rookie in 1936. So were (Bob) Feller and Johnny Mize." This past spring, Taber, who has a degree in photography from R1T, took his dream of producing an extension to the pastel colored set one step further.

"The key factor was finding someone who could do the artwork," he said. "The first person I asked said, 'I can't do it myself but I know someone who does opaque water So I contacted her and it turned out that she used to work with a company that did lunch boxes the Waltons and Donnie and Marie." The artist is D. August Roth, of Middleport "I said, 'Let's do them one at a time and see how it Taber said. "The first one she did was Arky Vaughan." Since then, August Roth has done Diamond Star-style artwork on Joe DiMaggio, Paul Dean, Moe Berg, Harlond Clift and half a dozen other players who were not part of the original set Taber has written the information for the backs of all 36 cards. He has contacted the Commissioner of Baseball's office about what he has to do to get permission to produce the set.

He says he isn't interested in making a big profit, but would like to share the potential earnings with a charity group. "And even if it never goes beyond the original art, it's still a cool thing to do," he said. "People say, 'But geez, it costs you so much Well, people spend as much as I do on this on a small vacation. And the way original art is, I figure if anybody takes an interest in it, it will always be worth the money I'm investing." If he can get permission to produce the sets, Taber already has an idea about how many he would like to produce. "I thought about doing 2,000 sets," he said.

"Since the last year of the cards was 1936, I've thought about numbering 1,936 sets and then doing 64 uncut sheets which the artist could autograph and keep the money from that for herself. "I mean you read Sports Collectors Digest and see stuff about limited sets of So I don't think it would be that difficult to sell 2,000 sets." That might be true if Taber is able to tie in with a charitable organization. Otherwise, warns Channel 5's Bill Pucko, distribution can be a major headache. Pucko produced 15 minor-league sets from 1987- 90. "I had no trouble with getting permission to do my minor-league sets because the minor-league contract says the players are bound to do everything that would help promote the club," Pucko said.

"Baseball cards fall under that clause. "As far as distribution, the first year with the New York-Penn League (1988) was the toughest because I went into it blind, which is where this guy is. I did 3,500 seta of three teams and I still have about 1,000 of two of them. "You just have to learn to do it right The key was pre-selling them. When you have boxes of cards and say, 'Now I'm going to sell it isn't that easy.

FRANK BILOVSKY team. I paid $125 for it and I consider that a steal" The person who sold Taber the ball might have thought he CnnD 07 TOE PEEK You probably have never seen the card at the left a 1935 Wally Berger (Boston Braves) which was part of the 108-card Diamond Stars set produced by National Chicle from 1934-36. The card books for $100 near-mint; the set $18,000 in top condition. You definitely have never seen the card at the right Paul "Daffy" Dean, Dizzy Dean's brother because It hasn't been produced. But if Albion's Tom Taber has his dream fulfilled, the Dean card will be part of 36-card extended set with original artwork by Middleport's D.

August Roth. Like the originals, the extended cards would feature pastel opaque water color art. And I think it's a much tougher market now because there is so much stuff out there. "What he's got it would be nice to hook up with a distributor or retailer that would provide him ready access to the market" If the distributor were a charity, that would be all the better for Taber. And no matter what happens, former card producer Pucko can tell possible future card producer Taber the feeling.

"It's painstaking," Pucko said, "but when you're done, the fact that you've done it, it's neat" Frank Bilovsky's Playing for Keeps column appears in the Democrat and Chronicle on Wednesdays. Questions or comments should be directed to 55 Exchange Rochester, 14614. was stealing the $125. But perhaps he didn't realize, as Taber did, that the 1937 Newark Bears are considered the greatest minor-league team in history. "So I'd rather have that ball than a Babe Ruth ball," Taber said.

"I want something that's unique and interesting. You can't go through a hobby publication without seeing several Ruth balls advertised." On the other hand, you don't see a 1937 Newark Bears' ball advertised in Sports Collectors Digest or Tuff Stuff very often. You don't see the Diamond Stars set produced by National Chicle Co. in Cambridge, advertised very often, either. The set, which was produced between 1934 and 1936, consists HATIOIJAL LEAGUE iOEHISMJ LEAGUE EASTERN DIVISION EASTERN DIVISION Pet.

Saberhagen (11-8) had lost two straight starts since holding Chicago hitless.

New York Red Sox move within 3 of Blue Jays, win, 4-3 The Associated Press BOSTON Jack Clark's wind-blown home run broke a sixth-inning tie and Jeff Reardon protected the lead for his 40th save last night as the Boston Red Sox defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 4-3. The Red Sox, who had lost four of five to Baltimore at Fenway Park, won for the 11th time in 14 games. Boston moved within three games of American League East-leading Toronto, which played later in Seattle. Glenn Davis hit a two-run homer in the first inning and Leo Gomez connected in the second, putting Baltimore ahead, 3-0. But rookie Kevin Morton (6-3) settled down and left after the sixth with the score tied, 3-3.

Boston's Mike GreenwelL leading the Red Sox with 83 RBI, hurt himself running out a ground ball and possibly could be lost for the season. Greenwell fell after crossing first base in the third inning of Boston's 4-3 victory over Baltimore, and was helped from the field. After X-rays at a hospital, Dr. Arthur Pappas, the club physician, said that Greenwell sustained a strained right groin muscle. Pappas said Greenwell also may have a torn cartilage.
