Frank Wakefield 85. Davidson, Paul. Indianapolis, Indiana, American Association. Davidson, an outfielder, hit .262 in 118 games in 1908, with 5 triples and 20 stolen bases, as Indianapolis won the American Association Championship, partly due to the pitching of a young Rube Marquard. He hit only .216 in 74 games in 1909. At Indianapolis, a franchise owned by a group headed by W. H. Watkins, Davidson played in a renovated baseball facility that had capacity for 20,000 fans.
I echo Hal's question, why Davidson? Gotta be someone, maybe you got a deal on this minor leaguer.
Perseverance is the key work in chasing T206. You might consider getting southern league players when available. I've been chasing for 18 years, I lack a dozen.
If you collected unslabbed cards you could gather more cards for the same money. They will store easier. Mine easily fit in a business card box, about the size of a check box. It is easy to spread them out on a table, and just look at the portraits. Or sort them by team (which is how kids bunched them a century ago). They can be sorted by series, so you can see the chronological progression of the set. All of that is difficult to do with a bunch of big, cumbersome slabs. So you might consider unslabbed cards as a more fulfilling and more expeditious way of chasing T206.
Good luck with it, Frank.
