Well, here she is - my first Obak, arrived today. Art Kruger (from my research they misspelled his name on the card...) played for the Portland Beavers in the PCL, but also the Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Naps, Boston Braves, and KC Packers in the majors. He died in 1949 in Hondo, California.
Part of what I think I'm going to love about these cards - nobody really is a star. I mean in their day and context certainly some were, but nobody was a household name, and virtually none are remembered today other than the two black Sox, Gandil and Weaver. Part of what I get sick of in trying to accumulate other things is my diversion by star power. Nice with this set just to enjoy the cards as miniature works of art and representative pieces of the times and leagues they came from.
