For that kind of money, I would still like to see a Bruce Petway, Charles Grant, Home Run Johnson, Spot Poles, etc. Does not have to be a HOF'er but at least one really significant player. It's not my money though, people can spend their own money on whatever they like.

Speaking of Petway et al., the players here are thought to be, left to right, Bill Gatewood; Hurley McNair; Dick Whitworth; Pete Hill; Bruce Petway; Harry Bauchman; Walter Ball; Fred Hutchinson; Pete Duncan; Louis Santop (behind Duncan); Rube Foster; Horace Jenkins; Frank Wickware; Bill Francis; Jesse Barber. The hotel they are standing in front of still stands. Note the equipment bag and cases.

Unfortunately Phil, you can not find a photo or postcard with any of those guys on them for less than 5k now days so for little guys like myself that don't get caught up with "names", finding items like this postcard are true diamonds in the rough.

Thanks Peter, better luck next time I guess.
I look at it this way, by not winning the CUG postcard, I'll take the cash and put it towards Hake's.........it's all good, no sweat off my back.
