Posted By: <b>petecld </b><p>Just asking a few questions here:<BR><BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4127238928" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4127238928</a><BR><BR>Why does a "complete" rotogravure section "inserted" into a 1920 edition of the Chicago Tribune have a page "7". on it?<BR><BR>How does he know this is from 1920? (I don't see a date.)<BR><BR>Isn't this nothing more then a page cut out from a newspaper? <BR><BR>Does AAA grade items this big? (Hey, I just want to know who potential bidders might be.)<BR><BR>And if it is cut out from the paper shouldn't this be a proof? (That does seem to be the current definition of a proof.)<BR><BR><BR><BR>Yeah, yeah, yeah, that last qustion was sarcastic. Couldn't resist.

Posted By: <b>Seth B.</b><p>Is anything from 1920 going to feature Joe Jackson of the ChiSox in the present tense? It is kind of fun seeing Hornsby choking up nearly to the sweet spot of the bat.

Posted By: <b>Todd</b><p>As it was the last year Shoeless played, and the first year Babe was a Yankee.

Posted By: <b>Seth B.</b><p>I stand corrected. I just assumed 1919 Black Socks meant 1919, but you're absolutely right, he played a full 1920 season until Judge Landis took care of him.

Posted By: <b>dan</b><p>I wrote a few of Henry's underbidders on items that I have similar and that sold for 3 times what they are worth, imagine that, none have written me back! Amazing, why pay Dan $150 when you can pay Henry $350 for the same item.
