To the tune of "Lola" by the Kinks...
"Met a guy on ebay and I took him back to my place..."
Ok, well I did meet him on ebay, but actually he invited me over to his place. I went there to buy a few Tip Top Weekly, and a bunch of Work and Win issues that I need. He saw from my flickr site that I am interested in cool old baseball oriented large sized newspaper pages, so he showed me a few that he had, nothing too special, but still kind of cool, so we made a deal on those, too.
When I got home, I went to work scanning everything, saving the large pages for last, because they tend to be harder to scan in that they don't fit on my scanner, so I need to do multiple scans, then combine them so that they look like one.
Hidden behind a slightly faded 1913 page from the San Francisco Call (which shares artwork with a 1912 Collier's cover, but that's for another thread) was this wonderful page below.
I let the guy, who we will call Lola just because now the song is now stuck in my head, know about the oversight and we will factor it into our next deal.
