An Unexpected Act of Kindness

I thought I would share this story with the board as it was totally unexpected and led to me finding the hallmark piece for my Bluegrass League collection. Most of you have seen my posts about blue grass league cards and related items and the other day I posted in the thread about what your favorite card in your collection is. Mine of course was my T210 Series 6 Fred Toney card since I am from winchester ky originally. I got an email from a fellow board member saying that he had a orignial RPPC of the 1909 winchester team that had fred toney in the photo. He mailed the postcard to me to look over it and when I emailed him back to let him know it arrived he told me it was mine for free saying that some things were meant for specific people to have. I was speechless and thanked him for the gift. I will of course not put the fellow board members name up here but I could not believe it. That is Mr Fred Toney himself standing 3rd from the left.

Thanks for the replies, it is cool to have a actual photo to go along with the Goostree and toney winchester cards I have. Thanks for putting up the goostree on auction David. I have one other winchester player callahan, but he did not start in the bluegrass league until 1910 so he is not in this photo. You will also notice a player Ellis in this photo, he appears in the T210 series 6set but he was playing for Lexington in 1910 so he appears with the Lexington Colts in the set. If only I could find the roughly seven or eight more winchester players I need to finish the winchester team now.
