Default Tango Eggs Weaver/Tinker




I just wanted to take a minute to appreciate this little oddity. I think it's one of the neatest cards out there. To me, this card has it all. It's from a rare regional issue, pictures Hall of Famer Joe Tinker, and incorrectly identifies him as Black Sox member Buck Weaver. Although the Tango Eggs set has three other mismatched player/photo cards, this is the only one featuring a non-common player or players. Joe Tinker is still checklisted in the set, but so far as I'm aware, an actual Tinker has never yet been seen. Plus, the Weaver/Tinker is one of the more common Tango Eggs cards, so it won't break the bank.

I recently picked up this one from a board member (thanks Matt!). It's one of my new favorite cards, with perfect registration and eye appeal that far exceeds the technical grade. I'm not sure if it belongs in this run since it's technically a "Weaver" card, but since it doesn't appear that a Tinker TE really exists, I'm going to go ahead and include it





Anyone else have Weaver/Tinker or other Tango Eggs oddities to share?
