Another one I would love to trade for/toward a Cycle 350

A day late, and a dollar short. Happy Birthday Ross!

Nice blank back Mike, there are a couple of blank backs with writing on them like yours I've always thought it was probably done by one of the workers
at American Lithograph.

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Thanks Scott, and nice Tolstoi that is one of the tough ones to find.

Thanks Patrick. I agree. The other examples have a similar hand to them. And (IMO) you can tell the writing is early 20th century, has a certain aesthetic to the numeric characters.

A Piedmont 150 of Eddie Seacot.

James C. "Jim" Delahanty. Second baseman for the Washington Senators in 1907-1909. 1,159 hits, 19 home runs and 151 stolen bases in 13 MLB seasons. Debuted with the Chicago Orphans in 1901. His best season was 1911 as he posted a .411 OBP with 15 stolen bases for the Detroit Tigers in 628 plate appearances. In all he had 5 MLB seasons with more than 500 plate appearances.

Excerpt from Delahanty's SABR biography: Remembered mostly for his more famous older brother Ed, Jim Delahanty was a fine player in his own right, and one of the most well-traveled hitters of the Deadball Era. During a professional career that lasted nearly two decades, the free-swinging right-hander played for fifteen different clubs, including eight in the major leagues.

Despite his lengthy itinerary as a professional ballplayer, Delahanty bore an excellent reputation within his profession. “Delahanty is looked upon as one of the ‘classy’ boys of the American League,” Alfred Spink wrote in 1910. “He is a most graceful fielder and a congenial sort of a fellow both on and off the field.” Though second base was his primary position, during his career the versatile Irishman filled every position on the diamond except catcher, and finished his career with an excellent .283 batting average in 1,186 career games.

Delahanty lasted only 33 games with the Browns (who) sold him to the Washington Senators on June 11, 1907. Shifted to second base full time, Delahanty found his new environs to his liking . The following year, Delahanty put in another fine season, though his campaign was marred by an ugly incident in his hometown of Cleveland on August 4.

In a game which Washington lost 7-5, Delahanty and teammate Otis Clymer were ejected for arguing with umpire Silk O’Loughlin. According to reports, Delahanty responded to the ejection by unleashing a torrent of profanity that could be heard throughout the park. American League president Ban Johnson responded to the incident by suspending Delahanty, fining him $50, and banning him from the Cleveland park for one year.

In order to be fair to the other contenders in that year’s hotly contested pennant race, Washington manager Joe Cantillon decided that if Delahanty could not play in Cleveland, he also wouldn’t play him in Detroit, Chicago, or St. Louis, a decision which resulted in Delahanty missing 14 games in addition to the 13 Johnson had suspended him for. At the start of the next season, Johnson lifted the Cleveland ban.

Definitely not a run of the Old Mill card.

Brian (please hold all applause until the end of the performance)

All in all Gilbert is just another piece of the Piedmont pie.

Always late to the party. But here is a Jim Delehanty game used bat. It’s the only T206 player game used bat that I have 2 of. It’s unique in that he cut off the very tip/end of it (to make it lighter I’m assuming)...

Nice Egan run Sonny!

I remember reading on here that Dick Egan was one of the least favorite T206 cards of several Net54'ers because they considered it ugly.

My take for years now is that the artists working on T206 could only do so much, and actually gussied Egan up to the point where he almost looks somewhat presentable.

Brian (sorry Dick for bringing up this touchy subject on your birthday)

Sonny, stellar cards!

Little help on a D. Jones back run ...... :)

Born in Hungary (town now located in Slovakia) as Joannes Pajkos, he was a spider tacker before spider tack existed, being one of the 17 spitball pitchers that were allowed to continue throwing the spitball after it was outlawed in 1920. Here is his Sweet Caporal 350 factory 30 card.

Brian

Yes, Happy 4th Everyone!
