"88 Score is a great looking set. The photos they used were crystal clear and awesome. One of my favorite '80's sets.

See, for me, it's a toss up; Your "tipper", Brian or the maximum amount of front paper loss of that one on eBay. I still like a complete image tho.

Something Different
 

Picked up this 1909-13 M101-2 in a recent auction. 8" x 10" supplement to the Sporting News. They issued about 100 of these in this issue. Pretty cool and very good detail in photo.

Here is a Hack.

How did he have so many RBIs with such small feet?

Not a card exactly, but would eventually become one!

I adore pieces like this ... cool stuff!

I just want to say this has been a fantastic thread. Lots of tough cards I've never seen before. As a side note, with the next post, I believe this thread becomes the 3rd most popular in terms of replies since the "new" board started around 2009.

It is a great thread, and with this Batter Up of Moe Berg I just slyly caught the coveted spot.

George is getting angry...

Babe Pinelli, as seen in this W573 Type 3 card (cardboard stock instead of paper, larger and machine cut borders instead of hand cut) also was a hothead as a player, but kept his cool and exacted revenge for 22 years as a MLB umpire.

Evidently his backside was also rather large, as can be seen in these scans.

Trivia Question
 

Who gave up the final hit in Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak?











He is a Canadian of Lithuanian descent.











(Some of) His 1940 Play Ball baseball cards contain a very early advertisement for Superman Gum:

"Millions of young folks asked for SUPERMAN CARD GUM. Now it's on the way here. This new Adventure and Taste Thrill awaits you at your dealers. Ask for it. Watch for it."














Joseph V. "Joe" Krakauskas. Pitcher with the Washington Senators in 1937-1940. 26 wins and 4 saves in 7 MLB seasons. His most productive season was 1936 with Washington as he posted a 11-17 record with a 4.60 ERA in 217.1 innings pitched. He finished his career with the Cleveland Indians in 1941-1942 and 1946. He is best remembered for giving up the final hit in Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak in 1941.

So you have DD, JD and...VD???

Don't worry they got medicine for that.

As far as I know Lefty led a clean life and never had to manage VD.

Al Capone could’ve learned a thing or two from lefty after getting out of Alcatraz.

Things were different back then . . .
 

. . . you had to live fast!

Here's a guy who:

< was the first major league player with the nickname of "Spider," a moniker he received because of his thin build and his excellent range as a fielder;

< at age 21, played for the 1889 Washington Nationals, primarily as catcher behind Connie Mack. Alas, the Washington club folded after the 1889 season, and he was out of work, but not before leaving us this card;

< at age 22, played for the 1890 Buffalo Bisons of the Players League, again with Connie Mack;

< in only 107 games spread across those two MLB seasons, he played every position on the diamond at least four times, except for pitcher. He only pitched once;

< in Buffalo was noticed in a story in Sporting Life which related that "Owen Clark's first base playing has caught the crowds. He is deservedly a favorite.";

< was out of work again as the Player's League folded after the 1890 season;

< was too sick with tuberculosis to play anywhere for the 1891 season, and died of the disease in early 1892 at age 24.

A 5 day lapse for posts? Shame on me! Here's a tombstoned Gypsy Queen of Roger Connor to raise this thread from the dead.

Love it! I lost the last one that came at auction.... it still stings!

https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...20Mays%201.jpg

I know, BCCG, but i bought it for the card in what I assumed was good condition and I am just fine with it. One of these days I will introduce the holder to Mr. Dremel.

Since the last pin was okay, maybe another?
