I bought this because I think the scribbles around his head add a little something, and it was cheap.

Big Train for today.

That's a beauty Phil. Doesn't get much better than that.

Today's contribution.

Thanks Dean, I visualized that exact card in my collection for a long time before he showed up. Back atcha on the Speaker, one of the best looking cards in the set.

T205 Scrap and Misprint.

The 3 sleeve lengths. 💪

My kid used to do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and there was a kid in his class that looked exactly like this card. Sitting and watching them, I constantly found myself wanting to buy this card, lol.

1933 PX3 Double Header button(s). Actually two buttons, but some kid in the 1930's probably smooshed them together as intended, so in my eyes this qualifies for this thread, and I am sticking to that story.

Since today is Pi day for us number nerds (3/14), I'm taking the liberty of posting the same 1941 Goudey of Bill Dietrich in 4 different "flavors"... :)

For Pi Day I am sharing a photo of some children enjoying Pie:

Good one, and an all-time great to boot. Seems like more players would be seen posed in this fashion...it's such a natural place to rest your chin, especially while seated in the dugout.

Brian

Not a card, but the same size!

Beautiful snapshot. Groh has one of my all time favorite cards:

https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...bsize/Groh.jpg

The bottle bat. Looks like he could row a boat with that thing.

I have the same card of Groh without the signature. Tim, or anyone out there, know anything about them?

Brian

Since it seems we are on a Groh roll, here is an E220 National Caramel of Heinie that utilizes the same photo as the Exhibits. And in not so unusual fashion for this set, it was cut by a crazy person working the baseball card printing machine.

Brian

I don't know anything about these photos, but I did see another one once of a different player. I'm not a set collector, so I didn't pursue it.

I bought mine 9 years ago. Beautiful signature.

Diamond Stars Melillo, unaltered on the left and all gussied up with expertly artistic outlining and added details on the right.

Brian

Makes it look like the left one missed a color pass!

My consolation for getting blown out of the water on the E121 last night...

My only Thorpe.

I bought a large lot of 1947 boxing cards that are black and white caricatures that had a sizable number that were beautifully annotated with color inks. I liked them so much I kept them. I love nicely done folk-art versions of cards.

How can you not smile at this one?

Croft's Cocoa
 

With the latest winter storm making its way up to Minnesota today, it's a good time for a little cocoa...

https://www.collectorfocus.com/image...2-crofts-cocoa

I was underbidder on one of those a few months ago, now I have to get one!

Crofts Cocoa is my favorite back! Good luck with snow in Minnesota. Go Badgers!!

I love the Croft's Cocoa backs but the closest I have is Croft's Candy.

McCauley with the less scarce, "correct" A.W.H. back:

Dang, that's a nice Jigger couponed Zeenut in post #524.

Do you still have that, or do you have it again? One of my all time favorite cards.

Here is an upside down back E92 Croft's Cocoa of Larry McLean. I added an additional scan of the back so neck straining is minimized.

I have a blue back to add to yours:

Nice! The best part of your first collection.

I'll finish off the colors and since others aren't playing by the 1 card a day rule...

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...2c439f91_c.jpg

I'm still playing by the rules...just maliciously and nonsensically reposting the same card again today.

Brian

Nice dj! Are 3 copies the most known of any red crofts candy??

​

Pete, as far as I am aware 3 copies is the most of any player. Bescher, Miller (fielding), and Davis each have 3 copies. Combined, these 3 players represent half of the red crofts I know of.
