Neat item Adam.

The card should say...

Sgt. Joe Louis says- “We’re going to do our part….and we’ll win because we’re on God’s side….and if that doesn’t work I’ll stab your ass with my bayonet!”

Happy 4th, ALL!

John, nice Wills card. Hard to get much more patriotic than the American Flag. Here's a Dickson Orde & Co. Ruth? Any other cards with American flags on them?

anything but grandma can be considered a card (hmm my grandmother WAS funny so maybe in a sense....nevermind) - here's my contribution from what I believe to be the best set of the 19th century.....

one more. I would have posted the fantastic National League fine cut tobacco trade card as well - but my picture too large a file.....

Here is an American patriot's story in comic book form, from a WWII magazine:








From Wikipedia:

"In retirement in his early thirties, Ross enlisted in the United States Marine Corps to fight in World War II. The Marines wanted to keep him stateside and use his celebrity status to boost morale. Most of the athletes of the era like Heavyweight Champion Jack Dempsey had ceremonial roles in the military, but Ross insisted on fighting for his country.

He was sent to Guadalcanal in the South Pacific. One night, he and three other comrades were trapped under enemy fire. All four were wounded; Ross was the only one able to fight. Ross gathered his comrades' rifles and grenades and single-handedly fought nearly two dozen Japanese soldiers over an entire night, killing them all by morning. Two of the Marines died, but he carried the third on his shoulders to safety; the other man weighed 230 lb (104 kg) compared to Ross' 140 lb (64 kg). Ross was awarded America's third highest military honor, the Silver Star, as well as a Presidential Citation. As one of America's greatest "celebrity" war heroes, he was honored by President Roosevelt in a Rose Garden ceremony."

Regardless, Happy 4th of July!

neat idea. pretty much all the Boston players from T206 have blue backgrounds with red trim on the jerseys/hats, but I thought this was the starkest (and not already posted).

Happy 4th to all.

Three variations of the Red, White and Blue...sorry if this strikes some as being an Ugly American.
