Must have been the Coke in the Coke!

Haha, could be. It was certainly a different world with harder lives back then. I just looked it up he was 23 in 1927 so he was likely 22 or 23 in this picture. I asked my wife who had no idea how old he was. I asked how old he looked....she said about 50.

I thought the 1926 Exhibits was Lazzeri's rookie card?

yes that's correct. Same image as 26 though. I suppose it must be a 1926 image. The exhibit issues get confusing!

I've been on aching for this one to get here. I was outside waiting so I wouldn't miss the postman today!

Congrats, that's what it's all about.

Nice Bender! I was watching that one too - given that we always seem to like the same things I worry that a wormhole might open up if you and I ever meet.

Thanks Chris and Bryan. I think that card was a real bargain, due to the auth. grade. Especially since the grade is from someone trying to get rid of the"A" on his uniform and change it to a "P", and not from trimming.

Here is one I have been after for awhile.

[RCMcKenzie]

added a few more n172 NYG from the recent BST auction

[edjs]

A few others that came recently. The Matty completes all three (finally), and the AB Camnitz is my first AB460 (closely followed by the Jennings, obviously). Thanks to Darrin and Mark for those. And that Kleinow is a tough front/back combo.

A Wild Throw indeed----
