Hi, Bob,

Here is the Ray Davis card from my Orcajo collection. I think Ray is actually Roy "Peaches" Davis, a right-handed pitcher who was a starter in 1937, and a reliever in 1938, his last year in baseball. So, there would appear to be a name identification error perpetrated by Orcajo when the card was issued.

George "Kiddo" Davis played outfield and the pose on the card you have posted is consistent with that. However, I don't have "Kiddo" in my collection, but I doubt that he was wrongly cataloged as Ray. He should probably be added to the checklist, especially since it has the Val Decker Packing Co. imprint .

Can't help with the Kampouris other than to note that he should be added to the checklist if it's an Orcajo back.

These are great finds.

Cheers, Mike
