I am a new member, and this is my first post. I'm more researcher than collector, with a primary interest in Deadball Era baseball in Kansas.
I don't know if it had any impact on the transaction discussed in this thread, but there clearly is some mischief afoot regarding Dale Gear. When I recently did a search on him, I came across a website, baseballhistoricalfoundation.org, whose sole purpose is to make the ridiculous claim that Dale Gear was actually a woman. The claim is based on a purported interview with his "granddaughter," who offered up two altered photographs and a fabricated birth certificate in the way of proof. Also, someone has made an anonymous post on findagrave.com claiming that Gear was the only woman to play in the major leagues.
I'm passing this on for whatever it's worth....
