Great stuff, guys. Astonishing signature, Jay.

I've sold 6 cards I've later regretted, and then I've bought back one of them. One of those regrets was a Ward Old Judge card, nice corners and a clear dark image. I had gotten him with thoughts of putting together a group of cards of HOF players who had a law degree. Ward was a thorn for some of the owners, Ward would try to help players to stick together and get management to threat players fairly. Ed Reulbach drew similar ire when he was a founding member of the Baseball Players Fraternity. He played less and was traded at that time. Ward was an intelligent fellow. I didn't realize his wife lived into the 1960s.

Thanks for starting this thread, Buzz.
