Pop Lloyd
Very lucky to pick this up from a long-time collector. It is the one used in Ron's book. I want to personally thank Jim S. and Wayne for helping get this by allowing me to negotiate for it without creating interference. A special shout-out to Jim's wife (Jim will understand!)

Cool, I was wondering if anyone here picked it up.
|
That is fantastic! A true rarity, no doubt. Congrats on an amazing addition.
|
Can you please educate about this guy? I have no idea who Pop Lloyd is.
|
You can read more about him in Wikipedia, but basically, he was known as the Black Honus Wagner, and when Honus Wagner heard about this, he said "it's an honor to be compared to him". Babe Ruth considered him to be the greatest baseball player ever.

Very cool story. Such a shame that these guys didn't get a chance to play in the majors.

Incredible!!!
Congrats!!! |
