Default T206 Howell's crotch area?!?!
I was working on a run of HARRY HOWELL (Standing) today and noticed something written in his crotch area!

Does anybody have a better example where the numbers/letters can be deciphered?

Yeah, I believe it says "Quit looking at my crotch. Collect Boston Garters if that is your cup of tea."

JD...my bad.

Seriously though, when you get some time to enlarge that area, there's a bunch of junk going on there

All of the Howell (Standing) seem to have that writing.

I learned it last week studying NASA's pictures of a rat on Mars. Just Google "Mars Rat" and you'll see it.

Thanks for the head's up Google. That was great. Like an intraplanetary Rorschach test.

104 years and no one else ever looked this closely at Howell's privates.

Way to go, Craig!

I can just imagine a distant relative of Harry Howell trying to find information on him and they stumble upon us talking about his family tree. Thanks ancestry.com!

"Runscott: 104 years and no one else ever looked this closely at Howell's privates. Way to go, Craig!"

Well, being a Master Set builder, I seem to really look cards over well noticing the smallest details. I'm doing the same with the recent DRUM cards I acquired.

Guy clearly had a bad case of blue balls. My suggestion would be to go to a house of ill repute and get some immediately. Obvious that the wife or girlfriend was not putting out. LOL
