I got this 1933 R306 Butter Cream card of catcher Herold (incorrectly spelled Harold on the card) "Muddy" Ruel with the scarcer "Sept. 1st" back in last week's MHCC auction to join my example of this card with the easier "Oct. 1" back. Ruel spent the best 8 years of his 19-year MLB career with the Washington Senators, and one thing he is remembered for is scoring the winning run in the 12th inning of the 7th game of the 1924 WS, which provided Washington with its only WS Championship to date (maybe next year the Nats will win it!) and made WaJo the winning pitcher in relief. I love it when a pickup fits both my type-card collection and my collection of 1924 Senators players.
