Thanks! I threw out an offer I was comfortable with and it was accepted. Very happy!

Such a slept on Hornsby card— and Hornsby is tragically slept-on as a player. Wish he had one card that was an "it" card in the hobby. Every time I surf his stats on baseball-reference it makes me want to collect him. Good Lord his numbers are cartoonishly dominant.
I totally agree with the Hornsby. I like to research a player before targeting and buying him. I was amazed with how great he was statistically even during that timeframe even beyond just his accomplishments with BA. Also loved the rarity of this card vs the Goudey from the end of his playing career.
