Someone wrote on my Fleischmann Matty....

They aren't prewar and I don't have scans, but when I was a teenager I had found out my dad had collected cards when he was a child. So the next time I was at my grandparent's house I asked my Grandma if I could try to find them. I finally found a rubber band stack of cards.

Within the stack were my dad and uncle's cards and they had left their marks. It included a checklist that they had filled out. One card has one of my Uncle's name on it. Another card showed traded teams. Another had a player's eyes colored in. Any of these cards would be worthless to most people, but to me they are my favorite cards from the stack.

Glad someone took the time to identify who was in the photo. Zach and Mack both played in major league baseball.

Here's a few... I love it when collectors from decades ago write the team names on the back of the card. Buck Barker hit this Bradley OJ up pretty good as well as the collector of this Gabby. One of my favorites is when a player writes on the reverse. Lefty Williams signed the reverse of this Eddie Noyes RPPC, "my roommate." Lefty is also in the picture on the bench with legs crossed in white hat. Anyway... I love a picture with some pencil on it!
