Erik- congrats on the Babe Ruth pickup....GREAT CARD! I had an ungraded one a decade ago and donated it to the Hall-of-Fame for which I received a lifetime pass.

Kevin - Thanks for the first Chico Escuela reference I have seen in years! Hilarious!!

Many thanks to the person who wanted to add this 1910 Portland Beavers PCL postcard to my postcard collection, along with other wonderful items from the family of one of the players pictured. For more, visit http://www.sportingoregon.com . Always buying!

Got my Legendary win today and took a new group shot. Need two more to fill out my 40 man roster. Legendary didn't do the card justice with their scan(not that it affected the price at all), but it's the nicest OJ photo I have now. You can see the Indianapolis name whited out on the jersey, on the other London cards I have, you can't.

Not a bad buy for $10.

Nice pick-up Jay, interesting history.
