A BIG net54 THANK YOU to Ed W.

Although I don't collect T212's, I've always thought Wiggs and his wisp of clouds was a vintage classic. Add a “Buck Baker Back” and this became one of those random must-have cards !!!!!

Deciphering the back:

James A. LR (indication he was a switch hitter ?)
Salt L – Cinn – SF 04 (Salt Lake – Cincinnati – San Francisco, 1904)
SL + NO 5 (Salt Lake and New Orleans, 1905)
BAK [BRK?] Det 6 (???????????* - Detroit, 1906)
Denver – Tol (Denver** - Toledo, 1907)
Altoona 8 (Altoona, 1908)
Oak 9 (Oakland, 1909)
Mont 10 (Montreal, 1910)
Oak 11 (Oakland, 1911)
Sea S/11 (Seattle, 1911)

B79 (who knows ?!?)

Long Jim in pencil

* Bak/Brk – Any ideas ???
** Can't find reference to him playing in Denver
