I sure would love to get an Old Judge Hugh "One Arm" Daily card in case anyone is listening. Maybe an Ed Beecher OJ, so I have all the 1887 Pittsburgh Alleghenys players in the same set. I have his Buchner card but I know it gets shunned when I'm not around

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history. All five can be found here:
