Ron,

You sure go to great yard sales and flea markets!

Got these two snapshots from Huggins & Scott last month. Taken July 4th, 1906, Athletics vs. Highlanders at Columbia Park. It was a doubleheader with Rube Waddell beating Jack Chesbro in game 1 and Chief Bender losing to Al Orth (aka The Curveless Wonder) in game 2. Even in the 3x3 snapshots I was fairly sure it was Waddell at the plate---probably talking it over with catcher Schrecengost just before the start of the game---but the scan at high res makes that familiar posture fairly unmistakable. Rube!

The Highlanders player with the flag (at left in the high res crop) is a nice detail as well...

Greg, thank you. I try to sniff them out every weekend. Most times there is nothing there.

Got these two beauties in the mail today. No manufacturer tagging, but they are marked size 38 and size 40... Although they seem larger... Anyone have any idea as to there age?
