I'm a happy camper - I swept 4/4

JeremyW alerted me to this one - I've been on the lookout for this for quite a while. Pumped to have it coming!



I've also wanted a Connor Old Judge. I remember a beat to death raw '86 OJ came up. I threw a couple grand on it ... yeah ... it went for over 13k LOL. May upgrade at some point, but happy to have an authentic Connor for now.



This card has ALWAYS mesmerized me, and may be my favorite looking 19th century card, ever. I think it captures the game magnificently - bare hands and all. But ... where is he playing, on the beach? It looks like he is in the middle of a beach/park day playing a game.



Last, but not least - drool. It has a spot of paper loss on the back which is my favorite kind of damage. I have the M116 Wags, but this is just that much closer to a T206. I like to think of it as the exact opposite of a T206. Candy, blue, reversed image ... just perfection.
