Two toughies I'd been looking for.

Those are both great Matt.

Here is a real photo PC and cabinet photo of 16 year old Edd Roush playing for the Oakland City, Indiana Walk Overs. The PC photo is featured in "The Glory of Their Times".

Hey, Matt:

Congrats on the Terry P/C pick-up! That's a really awesome piece.

Not a ball card, but something I've been after for years.

I bought two hardbound books that were in England, and I've been waiting for them to arrive. One is a 1956 edition of Handbook To World Index, by the Cartophilic Society of Great Britain, book #282 of 500. It is Cartophilic Reference Book #22, and it updates the World Index... think of expanding our Standard Baseball Catalog to cover all cards, sports and non-sports. On page 101 they're correcting the spelling of 5 of the Old Mill red border series 6 cards, and adding a new one to the list. There's a listing for Kalamazoo Bats cards.

But the second book has what I've been after. It is the Part II Handbook for British Cigarette Card Issues 1920 - 1940. It is book #144 of the special numbered and autographed edition of 500 copies. It's signed by the authors, Dorothy Bagnall and E. C. Wharton-Tigar. He was an amazing fellow, here's a link to a short bit about him.

Realistically, he has had the most influence on card collecting of anyone. What he put together served Jefferson Burdick as he compiled the American Card Catalog.

So I'm quite tickled to have Edward Wharton-Tigar's autograph, finally.

Another E98 knocked off of my want list. I love the Blue Backgrounds. They are my favorite of the four colors. I think they help the image of the player come off in a 3D look.

If you have any E98s to sell, please see my want list on the BST that shows the ones that I need.
Thanks,
Tim Kindler

So it was you that outbid me on that Wingo. That makes the Wingo and the Goosetree that you have outbid me on. Seriously though, fantastic cards!
