1908 Cubs

Thanks Pat. WOW! that Hindu is something. I'm going to keep an eye out for the Sovereign.

Here's the starting lineup from the 1908 Series, all raw, with Mordecai as the pitcher. (Tinker and Chance were cracked out of SGC holders, 20 and AUTH respectively.) These particular cards all have Piedmont and Sweet Caporal backs, but I have several T206 Cubs with tougher backs, including a Hindu red Chance (with front damage), a Cycle 460 Reulbach no glove, an AB 350 Pfeister throwing, and an AB 460 Overall yellow sky. I also have a Chance yellow portrait that looks much nicer than this red portrait, but I wanted the symmetry of having the infield be all "CUBS" portraits.

Will there will be a banquet at the Tip Top Inn in 2016?

Looks like it's been closed since 1931. Link Cool photo. Probably are some Cubbies in there somewhere but the only face I can make out is Smilin' Ken Landis in bottom pic at right.

Have always loved the period ink on this one (including nick name)

Here's a supplement of a team that could have won it all. A chance to be up 3-2 turned into a 1-4 series loss after the Cubs had an 8-0 lead and gave up 10 straight, followed by blowing a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 9th the next day.

There is also Jimmy Sheckard with his hand to his face. Can you post a close up of the people on the other side of the table? Love this pic!
