Lou Gertenrich
Lou Gertenrich, Pittsburgh Pirates right fielder for one day in 1903 and the man who put out a baseball set in 1922, would have turned 139 today if modern science hadn't failed us for so long. I've included a mini bio in the link below. Show your Gertenrich cards if you got 'em

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history. All five can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/John-D...hor/B0DH87Q2DS

Happened upon this page from a book or something a few years back and it confirmed what I had long suspected... Gertenrich had used a picture of himself for the backs of his cards. Thus, even though Gertenrich never had a card made during his career any of the cards from his Candy Company could be viewed as a card of Lou himself if viewed from the back!

That is cool Rhett. I had heard that he incorporated himself into the cards but had never seen confirmation of it. Todd that is a beautiful example, I don't believe I've ever seen a Gertenrich without paper loss on the back.

I think I may have cornered the market on the E-Unc Lou Gertenrich's
 Here are my examples (all but one with the typical spot of loss on back)...
