One, he has a fascinating personal story; two, he perfectly spans the dead ball era with a plethora of interesting poses and sets; three, he is a Hall of Famer and four, he is still relatively affordable as he is not a household name top tier member. It all adds up to a fascinating challenge.

Like I said, I think the display with the photos is much better..

But back to Bender, good points on all accounts....here are a few of him, since we are here.....but seriously, I vote for the tightened display. Pardon the extra cards....

A Baseball Bats E-unc of the red background variety...
Handcut and blank back versions of T216
and a Stevens Firearms blotter
