What is the idea behind this Stewart Obak card!?

[Stetson_1883]

I just bought this card on ebay partially because the card is so funny. It looks like diarrhea is raining down on him.

Can someone tell me what they were thinking when they drew this up?

On another note, does anyone have a mid grade 1909 Obak they wanna sell!?

I've always wondered that myself. I've had a few with the same design in different colors.

I call them the "moldy" background T212s. :rolleyes: I like them, different "mold" colors and always bright sleeves. The Buck Weaver and Ten Million cards have this design.

Paint peeling from a backstop or outfield fence maybe?
