Thanks, Adam. Those German stamps are interesting. There were a couple other series I can think of that came from there about the same time.

Hoping it is either different or at least an upgrade to the Cy Williams for me...Though what Adam posted appears to be different stamps they could be a different series from the same set...And the Tris Speaker here looks similar but doesn't have the name at top....maybe variations?

It's very unfortunate but I can't help myself.

The Cy Williams is from the same series. I also know of Waite Hoyt and Rabbit Maranville.
