One of my favorite poses in vintage, imitating the extended arm of Adam in Creation of Adam Sistine Chapel ceiling painting. This Christy pose is in many sets (E92, E101, E102, E106 etc.). This example is a trimmed E101 Matty with front displayed to feature his extended arm, and the backside upright because I normally read right side up.

Brian (Michelangelo gets a nod for his supporting role...painting not mine, but the trim job is)

As the 1924 season reached August, the Senators were in the thick of the pennant race, a new experience for this team. The Senators had HOFers Goose Goslin in LF and Sam Rice in RF, but CF was a problem. On August 8th, Clark "The Old Fox" Griffith acquired 26-year-old Earl McNeely from Sacramento of the PCL for $50,000 and slumping CF Wid Matthews. A good defensive CF, diminutive McNeely batted .330 in 43 games over the remainder of the regular season. While he hit only .222 in the 1924 WS, McNeely's only RBI, a bad-hop single in the bottom of the 12th inning of Game 7, made him a hero and made WaJo the winning pitcher of Washington's only WS Championship, until 2019.

Great card and great story Val. Here's a pic of Walter batting in that game.

Val explained McNeely's critical role in Washington's 1924 AL Pennant and World Series success. Here he is in 1924 styling his soon-to-be "bad hop grounder"-stroke.

After all those colorful cards, we need a little White...

For Miller Huggins' birthday, a T213-3 with a Factory 8 overprint.

My only Turkey Red. Not Baseball, but look at all of those Base Ball players on the back.

Looks like the photographer stood way back because he was afraid Rajah was gonna hit him with the bat.

Here is one of my favorite trade cards from the 1880s/1890s.

Here is the other 1941 Double Play card (mine is cut into two) where Joe Cronin plays second fiddle to a bigger star.

Brian (on the other card the first fiddle is Ted Williams)

For Lon Warneke's birthday, here is his R300 George C. Miller. According to Old Cardboad, there are two back types (coincidentally, Warneke is one of their examples). I think I just discovered a third type! My card is a Type 1 in all respects except it says Bats/Throws "R/R". I propose that this now makes it unique and the most valuable card in the hobby! It is also possible that Type 1 is identified by the other points mentioned but varies from card to card on whether Bats/Throws is spelled out or abbreviated. Anyway, it is an interesting anomaly from a very cool set.

Update: Further research on VCP indicates that all Type 1 Warneke's say "R/R" and that Type 1 is the more common variation (I could not find a Type 2 example on VCP). So, at least for this particular card, Bats/Throws is not an indicator of back type (and this is not an interesting anomaly or the most valuable card in the hobby). Also, if Old Cardboard is reading this, you can use my Warneke as a Type 1 example. That way the comparison will be of the same player and the variations will be more apparent.

My favorite WaJo

Another Piedmont 42

Indeed! After Oakland, I’ll do Portland. Alphabetical, you know.

Aww....what the heck...

Sweet card!!! I believe this is an old judge "spotted tie" variation!!!

SF born HOFer... SF based candy card

Rookie card too if I'm not mistaken, very underrated player imo.

His MLB rookie, as there are a couple Zeenuts that pre-date while he was in the PCL. Agreed, he's for sure underrated. Overshadowed by Cobb, and played his entire Tiger career between the early century and 1930's Pennant teams.

I also feel like the way the stat geeks (errrr sabermetricians) are trending, his high career BA is almost meaningless now. Though his OPS/OPS+ are nothing to scoff at.

1908 Postcard - West Side Ball Grounds- Chicago
 

I have four circa 1910 postcards of West Side Park from the Elwood Scharf collection. Elwood was mainly a postcard and exhibit card collector.
He collected every variation. These four, which were issued in
1908 (2), 1910 and 1912 are examples of this.

This is the first of four:

I have always liked this 1933 Goudey featuring the batting pose of Al Simmons...one of the first ten or so vintage cards I picked up many a moon ago.

Continuing the DiMaggio theme with this 1941 Wirephoto. I guess the Yankees gave Joe the increase in pay he wanted.
Joe set a record in 1941 that will never be broken.

That R312 DiMaggio is a nice one; I don't see them that often.

Here's a Magee to add to Derek's post. Not sure why he doesn't get more love. He was one of the top left fielders of his era both by traditional stats and by WAR (Baseball Reference has him as the 14th best left fielder of all time, ahead of several Hall of Famers and second only to Fred Clarke in the 1900-1919 period). He is actually the highest ranked left fielder not in the Hall, with the exception of steroid players and Pete Rose.

Tough to top the artistic design and composition seen on this Diamond Stars card of Paul Waner.

Here's one you don't see too often.

Love the rough cut borders on this guy...

Still sticking to the one card per post per day rule as set in the OP, here is number 3 of 4:

My totally raw Diamond Star set. My idea was to somehow frame this set and hang it on a wall in my basement. Haven't done it yet though.

Love Diamond Stars, I am about halfway through a graded (sorry) set. I can't pick a favorite, but Ott is right in the middle of Scott's beautiful display, so I will post his card. I always liked Mel because he is the best player with my initials.

This E90-1 American Caramel of Stuffy McInnis has been a long time favorite of mine.
