Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>O/T for sure but I was reordering some of my binders today and took the opportunity to scan one of my favorite ersatz cards. I had three at one point but only this one remains. I love the scene in The Natural where they shows sheets of these being run off the presses:<br /><br /><img src="http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p280/dsh46/royhobbs.jpg">

Posted By: <b>ItsOnlyGil</b><p>Hmmmm - I guess that the card is real, but the ballplayer isn't.<br />A nice twist to the common theme of fake cards of real ballplayers.<br />What other cards fit this mold?<br />Maybe Fritsch's Eddie Gaedel.<br />But for at least one at bat, Gaedel was legal, I think.<br />There are Newsboys, the female 19th century ballplayers, the Presidents baseball cards.<br />Maybe more or less, but an interesting observation, Dave.
