1924 Washington Picture Pack.....Walter and the gang......

[ValKehl]

Leon,
I acquired this same picture pack of photos of the 1924 World Series champion Washington Senators in Legendary's November 2010 auction. The lot I won has 29 photos in it, and as Legendary notes, they were used in the production of the Washington version of the 1924 World Series program. I don't have scans of these photos, so here's the link to this Legendary auction lot, which shows only 18 of the 29 photos: http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...ntoryid=111049

Soon after I acquired these photos, I started an additional collecting focus - cards of all the players on the 1924 team - which should be easier on my collecting budget than my other collecting focuses, since I already have many WaJo and Sam Rice cards (the other HOFers on this team are Goose Goslin and Bucky Harris, plus the owner, Clark Griffith). My intent is to eventually create a display with the cards I acquire along with the picture-pack photos.

Now, a little self-serving plug re "Oyster Joe" Martina, whose only year in the Majors was 1924, at age 34 - he won 6 and lost 8 for the Senators during the regular season and pitched one scoreless inning in the W.S. As far as I know, Martina's only 2 cards are the 1910 T210-2 Old Mill Cigs, which I have, and the 1924 Diaz Cigs, which I have never seen - can anyone help me with the 1924 Diaz?

Unbelievable price on those, Val. I don't know how I missed them, but I think that was the period when a lot of people were boycotting Legendary. I snagged some fabulous pieces from Kent's collection at similarly ridiculous prices. Great pick-up and right up your alley!

Leon & Hank - Thanks for your kind comments! I confess that I was surprised at the price I won them for.
