Posted By: Frank WakefieldThis one has some odd stuff... 7 HOFers 3 cards across the top. Middle card sits atop a check signed by the HOFer on the card. 4 cards in the second row, 2 HOFers, and that last card has the best card back I've ever read. Sold one of these cards to Bruce a few years ago. Third row has 5 items... first is a boxing strip, one of the 5 boxers has strong ties to baseball. Who is he? That orange thing is one of my favorites, although of nominal value. The fellow played in the 1934 World Series, but he's hardly on any cards. Forth row, at the bottom... who are they??? On the left is a member of the Hall, next is a seldom depicted catcher who played in the World Series, then 2 4in1's from what year? The guy on the orange thing is on one of them, and a player who is difficult to locate on any contemporary card is at bottom right, who is he?? <img src="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j106/greatwake/stuff3.jpg" alt="[linked image]"> 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) 12) 13) 14) 15) 16)

Posted By: Frank WakefieldRight you are, Dan, about Heilmann. That's the only Eastern Exhibit I have. Thought it looked really odd when I got it, I was expecting a normal Exhibit. Good eye!!!

Posted By: Frank WakefieldGood list, Rhett, Here's where we are: 1)********fkw for recognizing Centennial Flour, that's York of Seattle. He was up with the Cubs for 28 games in 1944. 2) ****Steve D HOFer Gaylord Perry's first card, good eyes. 3) *****Dan B, Heilmann Eastern Exhibit 4) ****Dan B, Alexander with that nice image on the 1921 Exhibit. 5) *******fkw R315A Bob Shawkey 6) ****Steve D ****Steve D Peewee Reese on the last series of T cards. 7) *****!!!***fkw Union Oil it is, and a Seattle Rainier, Don Rudolph. See the back of his card, below!!! 8) ******Rhett, W580 boxing strip, but who's the boxer with baseball ties? 9) ***** good one, Al... Dizzy Dean, Diamond Matchbook. 10) 11) *******fkw nails the Diamond Matchbook of umpire Dolly Stark!!! 12) ******Steve D New York Journal, Wes Westrum I thought he'd be tough. 13) ******* for Rhett, IDing Billy Southworth on the Exhibit. 14) *****Yankees catcher Pat Collins. I have a Pat Collins mitt. 1926. 15) ***for Steve, & ***** for Rhett for Rothrock and 1934 16) ******** for Bob P... Len Koenecke. So I think that leaves;; 8) a W580 strip, which boxer on there had 'black' baseball connections? 10) he's on card #15, the 1934 exhibit. And if anyone can post a better card back than the Union Oil Don Rudolph card, I'd like to see it.
