Interesting article Jimmy,thanks for the link.I wonder if any board members own an example of this card?

It's very rare, and very, very, very expensive. In the major auctions, you usually see about one per decade, or maybe it's zero.

Sad piece of sports history...

Clayton, all you have to do is change that "y" to an "x" and you'll be set, you could be Claxton, J.

Anyone have a Fatty Arbuckle Zee for sale?

Not mentioned in the article, but Jimmy Claxton played for the Nebraska Indians in 1932 and according to the article he also played that year for the House of David. He played under the name "Chief Two Horse".

I quess he played in 40+ different states, very interesting that he played there as well. Most likley his ties with the native americans
