I agree with that sentiment. While Ruth, Cobb, Jackson, etc. cards are all beautiful and I usually stare at them in awe, it's the unsung heroes of the game that really fascinate me. I think this is why I like 19th century items so much, there are so many players who fly under the radar and researching them makes them larger than life!
While it wasn't exactly cheap, it didn't break the bank either at sub-400, but this card is quickly becoming my favorite even though it's probably the dirtiest card in my collection. I can't believe he's not in the HOF, but who needs it! His numbers speak for themselves.
