I bought this off frankbmd (our fellow board member), and it was my very first and still favorite t206 card. He sent a nice note about the history of "Doc" Powers...
So I bought my first card (a catcher who was also a doctor... who was part of a battery in a game that featured a doctor pitching to a doctor...) from a doctor.
Powers was probably the first player in baseball to die from injuries suffered on the field. (he crashed into a wall at Shibe Park chasing a foul ball and died two week later from the internal injuries).
It's a beautiful card and the story behind it makes it all the more special to me.
I never cared about condition of cards... I kind of like the rough or marked up ones. Someday I'll get all my Giants (and both Matty's), but for now, this is the card. Thanks, Frank!
