No other card collector in the entire world would be as excited as I am to have picked up this rough-condition 1925 W504 Universal Toy & Novelty Co. card for my master collection of Sam Rice cards. As best as I can recall, I've only ever seen one other example of this card, a very nice example that resides in the collection of a Board member who won't part with it (hi BVH).
I got this card in a small lot of rough W504s and even-rougher W515-1s in an eBay auction from a seller who is not knowledgeable regarding vintage baseball cards. I say this because he did not reference the ACC designations, the result being that his listing did not match any of my saved eBay searches. Very fortunately for me, Board member and good friend Bryan L. happened to spot the eBay listing and alert me to it - thanks again, Bryan!
