R308
Are you there Jimmy. Here are my two R308 Foxx cards, look real hard to see him. I traded my much nicer type 1 to Gerry Glasser years ago. The larger type 2 is nearly impossible to find. I think Leon and I got ours from the same guy. Lefty Gomez is suppose to exist as a type 2, but I have never seen one.

Pepper Martin
I have a larger version Tattoo Orbit of Pepper Martin that I picked up completely by accident on ebay about 7-8 years ago. The seller had it listed as 'photo card', or something along those lines. I recognized it as one of those funky self developing Tattoo Orbits, and needing it as a type card I bid and won it at the opening bid of $5.00. When I received it, lo and behold, it was one of the incredibly scarce large versions. About a year later I was able to track down a smaller version of Martin for about three times the price.
The moral of the story is...always ask to borrow Leon's quarter when scanning your cards for sale. Brian Last edited by brianp-beme; 02-07-2010 at 10:32 PM. Reason: syntactically impractical

And...
I just noticed that both Leon's Foxx and my Martin have the vertical line of brownish spots running along the back side. The spots on my Martin, however, also show through as greyish spots on the front.

The Pepper Martin Trio
Thought I would scan the Pepper Martin Tattoo Orbits I own to show size comparisions between the issues. And in the process I discovered, at least on the Martin, the more common R305 (the colorful little bastards) and the
R308's share the same image, with the R305 obviously having been cropped just below his waist. Brian
