So the card is a fake, and the more I read about Marquard, the more I don't like him, either. He apparently made up all sorts of stuff for "The Glory of Their Times" and then got himself into the HoF on the strength of his chapter in that book. "Worst starting pitcher in the HoF" according to one writer. Wow.
