Congratulations. And thanks for the message.
This card of Fred Toney is one of the more desirable cards in the Old Mill red border series 6. Toney made it up to the major leagues. He twice won 20 games in a season. He won the "double no-hitter" game that he pitched against James Hippo Vaughn, 9 innings of no hits, with Toney winning in the 10th, I think. And while in the Blue Grass League he pitched 17 innings of no hit ball as he finally won a game, 1 - 0, in 1909.
The Goosetree leaning on the bat card is the more difficult to find of the 3 that were on eBay. I bid on Goostree and Toney, just so they didn't go for way too little.
And I'm glad to know the card is destined for good, appreciative homes.
Again, congratulations. I think you got a good deal, same for the buyer of the Goosetree card. That's a tough one.
