After a 3 year search, I got my F Scott Fitzgerald in the mail today. Thanks again to the people on this board for the great advice!

I know it's not a 1914 Cracker Jack or a T206, but I was glad to work out a deal with a fellow board member for these two cards.

I knew that portrait of Jennings on your card Daryl looked familiar. It is the same portrait that is used on his 1916 Tango Eggs card... Nice cards!!!

Thanks Dustin. Jennings appears in this pose in a handful of other sets as well.

Beautiful card Ben.

BTW, what is a "F Scott Fitzgerald" in card lingo? I know he is the famous author, but I am confused about the card being called that.

I too am befuddled by your terminology. Please explain.

Thanks to everyone. Here is a link to a thread I started when I found this card on EBay. There are some very good explanations by some great people on this forum about the "F" stamp and the supposed relation to F Scott Fitzgerald. The debate is still out there, but I chose to be a believer!
Worst case scenario, I have a T206 Hall of Famer!

There's another one of these "F" marked cards on ebay right now, I just don't remember which card it is! I didn't know what the stamp meant at the time until I read this thread and was convinced you bought the card I had seen since I saw it the same day you purchased yours, but it's definitely a different card. Let the hunt begin!!!

I'm happy to get this Lundgren!

Yes, but let's reopen the debate. Does the F stand for F. or for Fitzgerald?

New addition to the collection. Going to SGC to be put into a holder that fits better than this I hope.

[GregMitch34]
