Great snag on the Hornsby Scorecard! I had to work hard for the Bob Chipman Cubs Road Flannel (my lone win). Such a beautiful and rare style with "CHICAGO" underlined in red, and one of the few Cubs shirts in this auction with no restoration...

Thanks! Part of the allure of lineup cards for me from the beginning was the chance to get something actually used in a game, at a much lower price than a GU jersey or bat. The strategy has allowed me to pick up WS lineup cards from close to 20 WS's, and items from many significant games.
The item that stood out for me as far as price was the Musial jersey. As a top 10 player all-time, with a sterling reputation and career with a single, iconic team, I don't understand how his jerseys sell for so much less than others in the general category, but that's something I would love to one day be able to acquire.
