steve yawitzCongrats on that awesome Oakes! Had it tracked. It's one of those iconic cards I vow to own one of these days.
I'm pretty happy to have landed a Demmitt (from Huggins & Scott) to go with my O'Hara since St. Louisans are probably the subset on which I focus most while chipping away at the Monster. However, the more I look at the card, the more I worry that the front - at least in relation to the reverse - is a little too clean?
Hopefully it's nothing more than a case of very fortuitous packaging back in the day, but my jaundiced eye suggests otherwise. If the card was indeed bathed, it's too bad because I actually love the staining on Polar Bears. Even better if there are little shards of tobacco still embedded in the card. Then again, I'm also a reprobate who fondles and snorts old cardboard.
