August pickups

[LuckyLarry]

I remember back in 1991 we were talking Old Baseball Cards on the Prodigy bulletin boards. Someone posted looking for cards of a relative who played baseball in the late 1800s, Doc Bushong. I don't know why I remembered this, but I can still picture that Scrapps tobacco card someone posted about.

Thursday at the National, I visited Net54 member Taxmechanicks' (Glenn) table, and picked up an 1887 Buchner Gold Coin card of Doc Bushong. Leaving behind that Scrapps tobacco card of Bushong that I still remembered. I think my reason for choosing the Buchner Gold Coin card was #1 it was older #2 I liked his picture in the catchers gear.

Back at the hotel Thursday night, I regretted not purchasing the Scrapps tobacco card, and planned on hitting up Glenns table first thing Friday to purchase the Bushong card I left behind. Thankfully it was still available.

So now I collect Doc Bushong!
