If you had said "picture of Joe D playing high school baseball", I wouldn't have argued. Very spartan setup! Fantastic item.

I acquired it from Mastro Auctions several years back. Subsequently Hauls of Shame alleged it had been stolen from the HOF. Long story short, this allegation proved to be correct and I returned it to the Hall. Having my name alongside in the mud with Bill Mastro, Doug Allen and Peter Nash does not count as one of my best hobby experiences. 'Nuf ced.

I know Peter Nash gets slammed around these parts a lot - rightly so, in a lot of cases - he did a lot of good work in exposing thefts from the Hall like this one. It's a shame innocent guys like yourself got/get dragged into

Here is my contribution. Please excuse the glare. But here are some notes related to the suspicious death of Big Ed Delahanty. Shortly after he died (semi-mystery), his wife sued Michigan Rail Road. These papers are from the trial in the court room. They are a fascinating read. I apologize for the glare.

I made a run at this and was very disappinted to be outbid. When this came out i felt so bad for you David. You are a good man.

As far as I can tell, this is the earliest signed baseball card of Honus Wagner, from 1910-11.
