50 shades of Hoffman
 

More Hoffman examples here.
This was obviously one of the trickiest cards for the printers to get right.

Here are examples of:
- White 2b, darker shading on portrait
- White 2b, little shading on face
- Yellow in 2b, darker shading on portrait
- Yellow 2b, green stripe in background
- Yellow 2b, "normal" portrait (blue eyes evident)
- White 2b, but yellow in 3b, and a small yellow triangle above 1b

I wouldn't call all of these variations per se, but they definitely show that this card gave the printers fits.

My favorite T205....Miller Huggins
 

PIEDMONT Factory #42 cards are very difficult to find for the 32 subjects in the A - B - C - D group (which includes Miller Huggins).

I need the Huggins HASSAN Factory #30 and #649 cards to complete this run. Any help here is greatly appreciated.
Also, a DRUM back (which has yet to be confirmed) would be really nice.

Thanks guys,

Livingstone is a tough Single-Print. We proceed to John Lobert.....
 

Like the bio on Lobert's card reads.... John was one of "the fastest men" in BB. So how fast was he ?
In 1913, John Lobert and Jim Thorpe raced the 100 yard dash at the Polo Grounds and Lobert won.

George McBride
 

In retrospect, George McBride had a very surprising nick name. He was known as "Pinch" because of his reputation for being able to hit in the clutch.

How he got that reputation is puzzling because, after playing 16 MLB seasons, McBride ends up having the lowest career batting average of any player with 5,000+ at-bats. Go figure. His defense must have been spectacular (he led the AL in fielding for four straight seasons), but his hitting was rarely excellent, clutch or otherwise.

And yet, in 1911, the year his gold-bordered baseball card was issued, "Pinch" produced his best single-season batting average -- .235. Now that's hitting in the clutch.

Sorry about that . . .

Rebel Oakes was quite the "speedster". A left-handed batter, he once laid down a Bunt, and scored in the same play.
The combination of his speed around the bases, an error (or two) by the opposing team resulted in a "Bunt - HR" :)

Dode Paskert with a DRUM back......

April 13, 1911 Phillies vs the Giants at the Polo Grounds, Dode made a spectacular catch which many Baseball historians consider the greatest catch ever in Baseball.
In the bottom of the 8th inning, Fred Snodgrass of the Giants smashed a deep line drive into the left-center field gap at the Polo Grounds. It looked for sure to be an
inside-the-park Home Run. Dode raced after the drive and at the last moment turned, and dove to the ground, and caught the ball with his bare hand.
