This is not my ugliest card (far from it) but there is a fun little story behind it. I'd say perhaps 15 years ago I picked this up at the Hall's Nostalgia show in Peabody, MA - not the auction but a show they ran for quite a while back in the day. This E101 was one of two cards in a dealer's 'vintage' box that were pre-war, the rest were Bowmans and early Topps cards. It had a $5 price tag on it, which I figured would be good enough for a not-so-common-issue HOF'er. I picked it up, kinda looked at it and asked if the dealer would take $3 for it and without much hesitation he said he would. Even though I was still pretty happy I always felt that I could have purchased this card for a buck or two
