T206 Howell's crotch area?!?!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I was working on a run of HARRY HOWELL (Standing) today and noticed something written in his crotch area!

Does anybody have a better example where the numbers/letters can be deciphered?

Included scan:

Yeah, I believe it says "Quit looking at my crotch. Collect Boston Garters if that is your cup of tea."

I think its sandscrit.

These T206 errors are getting out of hand :D

Craig M 06-06-2013 06:53 PM

JD...my bad.

Seriously though, when you get some time to enlarge that area, there's a bunch of junk going on there :)

All of the Howell (Standing) seem to have that writing.

My worse. It's "hard" to tell. Maybe he's just happy to see us!:)

He used to wear advertising on his pants.

It says Smoke Honest Long

Way to keep your eye on the balls.

Craig, they look fine to me, but I'm not a urologist.

One man's junk...
 
Man, I hadn't noticed before, but I think I will be checking out Howell's junk from here on out.

The Rosetta Stones of T206.

I am gonna go with pareidolia. The same illusion that makes people think there is a rat on mars, or the Virgin Mary on a piece of toast.

This is what I love about the forum. I learn a new word every day.

There's a rat on Mars? Cool!

I learned it last week studying NASA's pictures of a rat on Mars. Just Google "Mars Rat" and you'll see it.

Thanks for the head's up Google. That was great. Like an intraplanetary Rorschach test.

I think that it's just "Peedmont" bleeding through from the back...:D

104 years and no one else ever looked this closely at Howell's privates.

Way to go, Craig!

z28jd 06-07-2013 05:55 PM

I can just imagine a distant relative of Harry Howell trying to find information on him and they stumble upon us talking about his family tree. Thanks ancestry.com!

Greg Nazareth : Thanks that was one of the best laughs I've had in a while.

"Runscott: 104 years and no one else ever looked this closely at Howell's privates. Way to go, Craig!"

Well, being a Master Set builder, I seem to really look cards over well noticing the smallest details. I'm doing the same with the recent DRUM cards I acquired. :)

Guy clearly had a bad case of blue balls. My suggestion would be to go to a house of ill repute and get some immediately. Obvious that the wife or girlfriend was not putting out. LOL
