Nice card, Kutcher, but we are doing a numerical/in order thread here so your Preacher is a little early.
Numerically, from card number #1, card number #33 is Warren Spahn today.
Tomorrow will be card #34, Elmer Valo.

[Republicaninmass]

Who?

363 wins without looking it up...I believe

My bad, Irv. I did poorly on my SAT reading comprehension section.

[Gorditadogg]

It's Warren Spahn Day! Here are my two low grade cards for today.

[ALR-bishop]

I keep thinking about sneaking in a high number card but that Dale is like a hawk

Spahn

LOL.

No worries, Jason.

I tried posting my Elmer Valo cards, but I got a message that the file size exceeded the allowed maximum of 78.1 KB. The files I am trying to post are 386 and 471 KB which are comparable to all of the others I have been posting. Is anyone else having the same problem?

There was a glitch last night where the site was down briefly but when it came back up, all the current posts were missing from the 10th onward.
I seen after a bit that those posts eventually came back but something else may have happened that we're not aware of?
Here's my Elmer Valo card. Like you, all my pics are the same size so if this doesn't work either, then there is definitely a problem somewhere?
Edit: Nope, mine wouldn't work either.

From Leon's thread about the site upgrade:

"Last night we did a server and software migration. It looks as though pictures are not automatically downsizing as they did before, when using this s/w to host them. A help ticket has been put in and I will update this thread as we figure it out. Please let me know of other technical glitches. If a function worked before it should work now.

And a random card This pic had to be downsized to 68k first in order to upload. It was around 500k and worked fine in the system before. The max size of hosting of pics, hosted in this system, is about 87k."

So it looks like we may have to pause the daily card gallery until this issue is resolved unless everyone can find a way to shrink the size of their picture files.

[Gorditadogg]

Here is my Valo, got it last week, just in time!

(And 66kb so it should load.)

[jayshum]

It took some playing around to get the file sizes small enough, but here are my Valos.

[jayshum]

Trying again with my original sized files and they seem to load ok so looks like things are back to how they were.

Let's see those Valos now.

Mr. Gil Hodges. Just to prove a point that scanners don't always show everything, this card is creased and wrinkled fairly bad front and back.

[jayshum]

My Hodges

[LincolnVT]

My copy.

[GasHouseGang]

Here's mine.

My Hodges:

[tedzan]

Gil Hodges deserves to be in the HOF. And, why he is not is beyond any serious and objective BB fan's understanding.

The fact that Ted Williams kept him out (while Harold Baines's buddies got him in) is such a bad stain on the Hall's integrity

[LincolnVT]

Great looking cards Bob! Here is my Snider.

[tedzan]

The Duke was one of the most friendly and gracious BB stars that I have met at an autograph session.

My Sniders

An my red back, Duke.

[ALR-bishop]

The Snider is on the Super set checklist for 3 versions. The redback can be found with or without a border irregularity in the bottom left front. Jay posted one above

The border irregularity is the least of the problems with my red back Snider. It looks like Dale posted the other version of the red back, then.

[smellthegum]

My Snider red back. No border irregularity other than them not being very equal in size!

Great cards all. Here is my #38 (Westlake) card for today.

Here's Wally:

Looks like he's in his basement and taking the pictures between his washer and dryer to me...

[irv]

And my Wally Westlake. A graded 4.5 black back.
