Pretty sure I overpaid for it, but picked up this Worch box variation (on left) to go with the no box one (on right) that I've had for a while.

the set contains quite a few such beauties - this one my favorite. Nice P/up!

and apparently we share an appreciation of the Frey N28. While I sold my set (a hint too pedestrian) I kept a sweet Frey along with an Oakley and Buffalo Bill in my treasured cards type card subset. Forgetting about the all too easy jokes - unlike most normally staged cards - the inexplicable balls in the air thing gets me - and despite the unbordered white background approach I find the card to be aesthetically pleasing.

Scott- very nice CJ Wood.

Daryl- great Red border Chase.

Nice Nap Scott, as you pointed out the color and registration is very good for that set and overall very good anyway!

Just bought this interesting card last night. It pictures Julia St. Clair, who through research I have identified as a Bloomer Girl. I found her on a roster in 1902, so I'd guess this was produced some time around then. I also found one other image through Google search as well as a discussion on another example on this website. That makes 3 and it makes me confident this was a commercially issued card and not just a homemade memento:

"Gribbin" came in the mail today -- another example of a great exchange with a board member -- thank you!

I put Gribbin in quotes because his actual name (and anything about him) eludes me. Baseball reference spells his name Francis Gribbens: http://www.baseball-reference.com/re...d=gribbe001fra
Lew Lipset spelled it Gribbon on his encyclopedia. What other references should I check?

I'm still looking for a few more Red Sun cards over on the BST page.

Cheers,
Steve

My eyes, along with the rest of me, must be going, as I swear it looks like in that beautiful T5 Cobb that he is using a catcher's mitt ???
