If you stare at baseball cards too long, you start to see things, like...

...an obscene finger gesture....

...or a card within a card (about 3:1 scale)...

What else do you see?

:D

Edited to open the door to the few people who actually collect something other than T206s for some reason.....

I don't have a scan (maybe someone can post one) but for some reason every time I see the T206 Ty Cobb (bat on) my eyes go straight to his belt buckle that's on his hip and not in front! I know their are other cards like this as well and not sure why it bugs me..:)

That was actually very common to do back then.

Wasn't the point of wearing the belt buckle on the side, to avoid injury when one slid on his stomach?
