Default WG5 Runner Sliding Umpire Behind

Three years ago I was just getting back into cards (60s, 70s, and 80s mostly), scouring ebay auctions as they wound down near close. I don't remember exactly how it played out, but I saw a National Game card, Runner Sliding Umpire Behind referencing Ty Cobb as the runner. At the same time I saw an identical card without referencing Cobb. The "Cobb" card closed at $75, so I made a move and was able to win the no "Cobb' in title at half the price. That is when i realized that I could find 100 year old HOFers in my budget if I worked at it. I add only a few a year, but the game of it is more than half the fun.
