SCD photo needed - Batter-Up Auker

[Archive]

Posted By: Bob Lemke

I've finished a column for SCD on the surviving players who appear in the popular pre-WWII baseball card sets. To complete the pictures, I'd like to get a scan of a Batter-Up Eldon Auker card, any condition. If you can e-mail such to me, or post it here for me to pick off, I'd be grateful, and would credit you in the cutline. Thanks much!

When will this article be released? Will there be a checklist?

I don't want to run the column without the Auker photo. There will be a list of every player still alive in each set (as near as can be determined). I'd love to get it into print before one or more of those old-timers is called "Out" by the Greast Umpire.

Bob,

I'm a big Batter-Up fan, and I'm always checking eBay for them. I noticed there is an Auker up for auction right now on eBay, from a seller called Luxury's Card Store. It's only a "1," but it has nice eye appeal ...
