WTB: Dode Criss

[OldEnglishD]

Hi All,

I'm going to dip my big toe in the T206 ocean by starting with Dode Criss.

Why Dode Criss? Because he shares my birthday (a heartly Thanks! to clydepepper for his T206 Birthday thread).

I figure a back run will be a fun way to start off!

So if you've got any lyin' around, please let me know.

Thanks, Dave

You may enjoy collecting T206's for years.
It's a long run.

Welcome, Dave.

What are you looking for, condition-wise? Graded/ungraded?

Email sent.

Thanks for the welcome!

Graded or ungraded is fine. Lower grade to keep it affordable. Would really prefer cards that would grade numerically. Hope that helps, Dave

Bah! I haven't even purchased my first T206 and you have me looking for other cards!


Just kidding, that list is great! Thank goodness I don't share a birthday with Ruth, Mantle or Gehrig, right?

If it's easy, I would love to see the rest of the list. Otherwise, it'll just be a research assignment for myself.

Thanks for the reply! Dave

OK Dave, below is a list of pre-war cards for players born 3/12. Unfortunately, I am unable to automate the process so you can dig out the post-war cards yourself if you are so inclined.

Bill James was a bit of a challenge as there were 2 players by that name playing at the same time (and both included in the Zeenuts series). I weeded out the imposter and I believe the cards I list are all for William Lawrence James ("Seattle Bill"). The Beckett Baseball Card Alphabetical Checklist was of no help as it co-mingles the two players under one name. Fortunately, I have a good Zeenut resource.
