I'm sick of all this damn money talk; let's have a virtual card show

Love this card, not really sure why.

Great stuff everyone! This is one of my favorite cards in my collection. Love the colors and design.

Since there were some Japanese cards posted, here is my only Japanese baseball item. I think it is a high school team from the 1930s but I can't find the original documentation at the moment. It is 7" X 9" (and the back is, of course, the same size as the front but for some reason the scans came out as different sizes).

I have for some reason become particularly fond on this card in my collection. The scratch is on the case, so I am thinking I should get it reholdered?

Cool thread and great cards as always! I'm a few days late to the party but here's mine for the day. I'll start off with my favorite pre-war card/pose:

[Kawika]

1950 Boy's Shonen premium of Kaoru Betto, Japan Hall of Fame outfielder for Osaka Tigers and Mainichi Orions. Later noted for his image being sported on Jeff Bridges' t-shirt in The Big Lebowski. Card is about the size of a T3.

T201s are annoyingly tall, but you can still display them in a binder. I put mine in cardsavers, take a sheet of card stock and cut out a hole the size of the card saver, and then glue some corners down to keep it in place. Slip the whole thing in one of those full-page protective plastic sheets. You can store them in the binder, keeps the card protected, and you can see both sides.

Beautiful piece!

Thank you. I always felt bad for the catcher...I'm sure his parents would have preferred it if they let him pose with the mask on top of his head.

Wow, thank you so much. I am not sure why I thought it was from the 30s but clearly I was way off. I got it because I loved the image but having the back translated just makes it more interesting.

No problem, glad I could help. It is a really cool image.

I can see why. That look speaks a thousand words. Really cool.

Really cool thread. Thanks to everyone for sharing. Seeing the variety of cards is amazing.

My contribution for the day.
