Hey Bill....
If you'll post a scan of the card so we can all admire it, then I'll tell you that Gene DeMontreville is in the E107 series one. And I think he might part of a team or season display on a Harper's Woodcut, but I am probably mistaken on that. And he's in the 1990 Target issue that I think tried to depict all of the Dodgers, Gene was with Brooklyn in 1900.
But I'm not telling you any of that until you post a scan.
Also, once the scan is up... what about that 1898 Baltimore team he was on? What stars!!!!
manager Ned Hanlon
catcher Wilbert Robinson
1st Dan McGann
2nd Gene DeMontreville
ss Hughie Jennings
3b John McGraw
of Willie Keeler
of Joe Kelley
of Ducky Holmes
Now that is one stellar bunch of ballplayers. 6 HOFers, and one who could be... Obviously, anyone exposed to that baseball knowledge must have managed. Post that scan and I'll mention that Gene managed in the Eastern League in 1903, and in 1912 for a Cotton States League team that was both in New Orleans (the Little Pets) and also Yazoo City (the Zoos).
Now how about a scan?
