The Other One (Julie)1) G and B. Every time I see one of these rare 19th century
portraits, I think "Oh! So THAT'S what he really looks like...") --even if I already have a photographic card of him. I don't have any.
2) N167s. Coincidentally, ALSO rare 19th century portraits, and --I don't have any.
3) N162. Only 8 baseball players--wonderful lithography--7 portraits and Glasscock with his hands on his knees. Not as accurate as a great photograph, of course, but very, very beautiful. I have all 8 ballplayers. And they seem to capture the essence of the man--whether they really do or not, how would I know?
4) N172--the Old Judge. The most, and sometinmes the best, photographs of 19th century ballplayers.
5) Fan Craze. There are so many great portraits: Plank, Wagner, McGinnity, Flick, Lajoie--and pennywise! (Many don't collect them because they are
game" cards. But they are really beautiful).
\6) T206. I'd feel as foolish leaving the Monster out of the 20th century as leaving the Old Judge out of the 19th.
