If there was ever a thread that said Patrick.....

I immediately thought of Richard Sherman's rant after the NFC Championship.

That would be an ignorant tool:D

Jason, that's one of my favorite cards in the hobby and yours is about as nice as I've seen. Congrats.

Great cards everyone...and thanks Todd for providing the Worch Cigar image of Richards. I had never seen the photo that the Goudey Richards was based upon. Now I know that the artist was recreating the cool distance perspective as seen in the original photo, and not just conjuring up one as an artistic challenge.

Brian

Thanks Mike.It was the next to last card I needed to complete Series 2.I picked it up at the Baltimore National I believe from Joes after eyeing it on EBay for a few months.I really like the pose as well!

Catchers
 

a scarce one and a great pic of the tools of the trade...

The simplicity of Jacklitsch seems par for the times....excuse the others (though Red was a catcher this one doesn't show his tools of ignorance)
