Posted By: <b>David McDonald</b><p>For those who missed it, this card sold on eBay a couple of months ago. I did not win it but saved the image. It is the 1907 Hutchinson team so it is not an "earlier" image of Joe Wood, rather a contemporary but somewhat later one. All the same, it is a nice depiction of a young Smokey Joe. <br /><a href="http://www.network54.com/Realm/NewCards/1907_Hutchinson_JoeWood_17yo.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/NewCards/1907_Hutchinson_JoeWood_17yo.jpg"></a><br /><br />Edited to add a link to this interesting article: "The History of Baseball in Hutchinson, Kansas"<br /><a href="http://www.funvalleysports.com/about/history/history_baseball.shtml" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.funvalleysports.com/about/history/history_baseball.shtml</a>

Posted By: <b>Justin</b><p>Earlier this year, somebody sold a bunch of 1899-00 Sporting Life magazine cut outs of baseball players of the time on Ebay. Joe Wood was one of the players depicted on those cut outs, and it sold for over $200 if i remember correctly. I saved some of the scans, but i can only find this one player right now, but you get the idea of what the 1899-00 Sporting Life magazine baseball player images look like.<br /><br /> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1143405290.JPG">

Posted By: <b>rmacpa</b><p>in 1900, joe wood would have been 11 years old,<br />and while he may have been playing some level<br />of baseball at that age, its not likely the sporting<br />life would have included his image in their<br />publication for the years referenced (1899-1900).

Posted By: <b>Justin</b><p>Yes Yes, my mistake. I could have sworn one of the players last names from this issue was Wood. I guess I just figured it was Joe Wood since it sold for so much.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I sold that Hutchinson PC on ebay. I think someone got a good deal on it, considering how popular his cards are.

Posted By: <b>David McDonald</b><p>Wish I had bid harder on your auction, Barry, but I think I was in the middle of one my occasional "spending too much money on baseball cards" lapses into frugality.

Posted By: <b>Ryan Christoff</b><p>I believe there is a photo of Wood playing for a town team in Ouray, Colorado when he was 14 or 15 around 1903 or 1904. He lived in Ouray for a few years beginning in the spring of 1899 when he was 9 years old until he was 16 when his family moved back to Kansas. <br /><br /><br />-Ryan
