being a star player: 3.79; .261. HOwever--you are right about something I was dead wrong about--all my life people have told me that Kid had an older brother, MUCH better known as a player, who played for a long time. Not true. Harry had a very brief career. Nor are there any other "Gleasons" who had long careers, who could have been father or son (and some Gleasons may have been; there were other MLB players by that name)).

But you have blunted the edge of my argument. Gleason may have not been Wagner, but he was a player of some standing--and my card is so obviously hand cut.
I have yet, however, to see a HOFer from that set, already recognized as a great player, without a very carefully cut-out card.
