Default Sam Leever show and tell

As a person who follows the Pirates closely and collects the old cardboard I am a big fan of the man they call Sam Leever, never got to see him pitch, at least not in this lifetime but I do like to write about him. I also like to see what is out there for him amongst you collector. I did the telling part ( twice actually,click the blue link at the top of the story for another story) you guys do the showing part. I think it's a fair trade-off

Default Sam the Man.

Love the article and Sam Leever is also one of my favorites. I only have the T205 of him right now. I am looking to gather more in the future.

Thanks for sharing the article.

Jon

Default e107

Don't take this wrong because the card you posted is great with great color but when I saw that e107collector responded I jumped to conclusions

All I have is the t205, I actually collect Dots Miller cards but once I stall I plan to go for some of the other Pirates from that era Leever included

Lovely E107 Tony - I think I was also an underbidder on that one ... way, way under.

This one's in a different zip code.

Default 1907

Here's Leever featured on this 1907 postcard. His career won-lost was 194-101. Very impressive!

Here is Leever from a 1909 supplement for initial game at Forbes Field, Chicago vs Pitt. Supplement is huge and scanned only the portion with Leever.

Great stuff everyone. Love that 1907 postcard. I may have to try this again with another Pirates player since it is working so well
