Frank WakefieldReulbach with glove is in the 150 series only. Possible backs are Piedmont, Sovereign, Hindu, Sweet Caporal. I think there are 2 factory possibilities with Sweet Caporal, 25 and 30. But I might be mixed up on that.
Point is that this card is among the more difficult to obtain of the 150 series cards. And among all of the cards.
I think you got a good deal. Not necessarily a great deal, but a good one. I sometimes bid on the Reulbach glove cards when I see one auctioned, just to get a bid in so I can watch the price and maybe keep one from going dirt cheap.
I bid on that one. It closed Jan 11th, sold for $27.21 with $4.80 for shipping from a good, reliable seller. I don't think you stole it, I'm ever so slightly surprised it didn't go for a tiny bit more.
Ed was one interesting player. If you can, get a copy of Mr. Bill James' first Historical Baseball Abstract, the original one, not the updated version. Mr. James has a great 2 page section about Ed. I've thought of him as a possible HOF candidate. Much lesser players have gone in lately.
