David's Williams is an R303A...unless, of course, it's a V351 - which would REALLY be awesome...David?

Beautiful either way.

..these two probably represent most of Monty Stratton's "cards" ; I may have the complete Monty Stratton Master Set without even knowing it because I also have his 1933-1935 Worch Cigar on Page 1 or 2 of the "Worch Cigar Project" thread a few lines down ..
The 1937 Team Issue Picture Pack has some staple holes and a scrapbook backside ; the Burke 4 x 6 is almost flawless --I'll post a scan of the reverse of that one in my next entry ; the Burke guys need all that stuff from back there
..

..a 1934 Gold Medal Al Simmons ( finally , after 11 years of searches ) ,a 1939 Canadian V351 ( like USA R303A ) Flea Clifton (an upgrade ; the one I have is off-centered ) , an AZO postcard RPPC of a well-equipped catcher , looks turn of the century , and then the reverse of the Burke 4 X 6 Monty Stratton....can anyone familiar with equipment hone in on which years that older-feller catcher might be from ? The back is clean and unused , no ID at all , and I can't find a Studio logo anywhere on the front .

Congrats, nice card. You need to share this with John Dreker!

Finally got one on my longtime wish list, one of greatest images of anyone, and a good version, methinks. http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1510298709

Congrats! I was the under-bidder.

Beautiful copy of a very scarce pose. I find the card’s background very interesting. 1887 Boston players (and all other NL teams except New York) were photographed by Gray Studios. The backgrounds that Gray used we’re pretty consistent. However, off the top of my head I don’t remember another card with this background. Also, number “0440” was a relatively late addition to the “0” number series. Something unusual took place with this pose; I need to spend some time thinking about what was going on. Anyway, congratulations—great pickup.

16 HR and 81 SO as a rookie in 1889. He was the Aaron Judge of the American Association.

Card in hand, now I can finally post this. I badly needed this back for my Evers back run, and its one hell of a tough card. Bryan thank you! Bryan (Jobu) and I met up in DC last night to make the swap, and it was great to meet, in person, a guy I have emailed and texted with for over a year but never actually spoken to. Maybe i will meet more Net54 peeps at Philly or Chantilly.

As an aside, with this T213-1 in hand -- first I have ever owned, I dont see how this is not a T206!
