Great cards everyone...and thanks Todd for providing the Worch Cigar image of Richards. I had never seen the photo that the Goudey Richards was based upon. Now I know that the artist was recreating the cool distance perspective as seen in the original photo, and not just conjuring up one as an artistic challenge.

Thanks Mike.It was the next to last card I needed to complete Series 2.I picked it up at the Baltimore National I believe from Joes after eyeing it on EBay for a few months.I really like the pose as well!
