boxingcardmanJeff: the Pinkerton I have shows Tinker as mgr. of the Chicago Federals (#208).
I've had some nice finds over the years, but nothing earth-shattering. The most fun one I ever had with one was shortly after I moved to CA. I was 12 at the time. My parents took me over to some friends' home with grown sons. The parents found out I was a card collector and asked me if I wanted to look through their sons' old card box in the attic. I of course did, and they handed me a box that was easily 2' x 2' filled with cards and told me to take what I wanted. I spent the whole afternoon going through it and at the end of the day had a stack of HOFers from all sports a good 6" high. Since I thought I was supposed to take only what I wanted, I left the rest of the box. They then asked me if I wanted to rest, and I took the box home. I dumped it out on the bedroom floor and spent the whole evening sorting through it. Around 11:00 I pulled a 1955 Topps Ted Williams out of the stack and you could have peeled me off the ceiling I was so happy.
