Default Indecent Batter-Up Fred Fitzsimmons Giants - Ends Sunday 10/1 @ 8pm CST

This week we have a decency theme for the four vintage card lots up for auction. Two decent cards, one semi-decent, and one indecent, for those who don't mind some indecent exposure when it comes to prewar cards.

The card in this auction is classified as indecent. I believe this Batter-Up card of pitcher Fred Fitzsimmons of the New York Giants spent at least one night behind bars, judging by the shape he is in. I believe that sliver of tape seen on the back right side might be holding the top half of the card on. There is some vintage duct tape on both front and back that is probably museum worthy. The back has both typed words and penned words. The card also has creasing as shown, but even with all this it still depicts Fred in fine pitching form.

Minimum opening bid is $1 for this card, and the bidding increment should be in whole dollars. Bids with a time stamp of 8:00 pm CST on closing night or earlier are valid, anything after that is considered an unsuccessful bid. The shipping if you win one of my auctions this week will be $4.50, for two it will also be $4.50 total. Win 3 or 4 auctions and the shipping is FREE.

All cards will be shipped in a padded envelope. Personal check or Paypal accepted.

Good Luck!

Brian
