Hi Pat.... Yes, Lundgren is an interesting subject.
Lundgren is a University of Illinois (Champaign-Urbana) Engineering graduate. I guess that's part of the reason I like him. When I was in the Air Force (stationed in central Illinois),
I attended Engineering courses there.
Anyhow, Lundgren had a fairly good pitching record (91 - 55, W-L). He left the Cubs on April 23, 1909. And, perhaps that is why American Litho Short-Printed his MLB card.
Furthermore, that (short-printing) may explain why the Dahlen (Boston) and Tubby Spencer cards are tougher to find. Both their careers changed during the period of when these
Elite 11 cards were being printed.
