Default Unique Writeups on Card Back?
Addie Joss's T205 is well-known for the unique tribute on the back following his passing. It got me thinking...what are some other notable or unique examples of writeups on the card back?

I like this one. The quite rare Ty Corn on the Cobb...

Still get a chuckle out of the cartoon on the back of Don Rudolph's 1959 Topps card where it says his wife is a professional dancer. Her stage name was Patti Waggin and she was a burlesque dancer but it doesn't say that.

Great cards so far. Here’s my favorite on the back of Eckersley’s rookie card

This thread makes me think of Cubs pitcher Johnny Klippstein's '53 Topps card that mentions that he was a mailman in the off-season. Not too many players working Joe jobs like that anymore.

When I saw the title of this thread, I initially thought of Waitkus '55 Bowman,
after all being shot by a deranged girl, was his Biggest Thrill"

"though a full blooded Indian he is mild mannered"

I wonder what other full blooded Indians would say about that?

There are quite a few politically incorrect sayings on cards that would never pass societies muster today. This one even made me cringe a tiny bit

Yikes. Jackie's Old Gold was more subtle with the reference to Jackie being "even-tempered and modest."
