Happy Pi day!
 

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"... :)

Batter-Up

Expanding out from a card today.
 

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:

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.

Loving this thread.

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...

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!!

The grand and glorious GOODWIN CHAMPIONS

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.

Nice CJ's Larry!

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.

Lou Gehrig....
 

1933 DeLong Lou Gehrig.... So glad I got this to finish my set before the prices went up!

I have a blue back to add to yours:
