I was working on a run of HARRY HOWELL (Standing) today and noticed something written in his crotch area!

Does anybody have a better example where the numbers/letters can be deciphered?

Yeah, I believe it says "Quit looking at my crotch. Collect Boston Garters if that is your cup of tea."

JD...my bad.

Seriously though, when you get some time to enlarge that area, there's a bunch of junk going on there :)

All of the Howell (Standing) seem to have that writing.

My worse. It's "hard" to tell. Maybe he's just happy to see us!:)

He used to wear advertising on his pants.

It says Smoke Honest Long

I agree. Next we'll have a Howell Missing Crotch for sale on ebay. ;)

Craig, they look fine to me, but I'm not a urologist.

Man, I hadn't noticed before, but I think I will be checking out Howell's junk from here on out.

I am gonna go with pareidolia. The same illusion that makes people think there is a rat on mars, or the Virgin Mary on a piece of toast.

This is what I love about the forum. I learn a new word every day.

There's a rat on Mars? Cool!

I learned it last week studying NASA's pictures of a rat on Mars. Just Google "Mars Rat" and you'll see it.

Thanks for the head's up Google. That was great. Like an intraplanetary Rorschach test.

104 years and no one else ever looked this closely at Howell's privates.

Way to go, Craig!

I can just imagine a distant relative of Harry Howell trying to find information on him and they stumble upon us talking about his family tree. Thanks ancestry.com!

Well, being a Master Set builder, I seem to really look cards over well noticing the smallest details. I'm doing the same with the recent DRUM cards I acquired. :)

Guy clearly had a bad case of blue balls. My suggestion would be to go to a house of ill repute and get some immediately. Obvious that the wife or girlfriend was not putting out. LOL
