I have played baseball and softball for 46 yrs running. I throw and bat left handed. I write right handed. It's not that uncommon. Nice photo btw....

Especially for back when Ruth lived. As writing left-handed was considered wrong. Mainly because the ink would smear by left-handed writers.

Same here, played baseball and softball for 54 yrs, bat and throw left handed but I write right handed. I also play golf and basketball right handed.

It's the other way for me. I'm left-handed, but I play baseball righty (at the plate and in the field) because I learned how to play by copying my dad.

I am a natural lefty but learned to do everything right handed growing up. My parents told me that I was using the wrong hand.

Yeah I had forgot that they used to tell people to switch. Thanks Leon I thought it was a good deal for $20.

+1. I think the only reason that I write right handing is spending my first six years in Catholic school. The nuns would rap you in the hand if you tried to write left handed!

Also, I picked this card up for the second time in the Sterling auction last night. I love the look and am glad to have it back. I had won it in last September's B&L auction and wound up trading it for four T206's. Sorry for the small scan!

Nice e102 Steve!

I managed to hold on and win an upgrade on one of my favorite e95s in Sterling:

Wow - three GREAT postcards in a row!!

Love the early Ruth and Wagner! Super great registration on both, and far nicer than their technical grades!!

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Pete- Great Wagner photo! You have become Mr. Hot Springs Spring Training!

Got this 1932 Sanella in the mail today. My first Babe Ruth from during his playing days.

Someone just handed me these beauties in a parking lot in NJ. Perfect for the Pittsburgh Pirates collector in my house!

Nice pick up on that one. Had I not had one it would have gone for quite a bit more . These are super rare cards. I think I have seen a total of 3-4 in my 17 yrs in the hobby.

Edited to add, your E100 doesn't look trimmed to me, from the scan. (of course the Gilmartin is and was advertised as such)
