The Last One I Needed ; Finally.
 ..Just picked up the Type 1 Hartnett ; that completes the base set of 121 Type 1's. I now finally have all the cards from all five Types except one single card. The hunt continues.....This type 1 Hartnett is a very short print.Took a looooong time. I love this hobby. ...

4 feet wide......
Signed by photographer, dated, and Red Ruffing (RedSox) on the mound!
Absolutely breathtaking! Peace, Mike PS Don't laugh at the saran wrap on left end......the glass broke there and I just covered that part of the photo up. Facts about this incredible photo: #1 4 feet wide (7” by 48”) #2 Photo by local Boston Photographer W.W. Somers (signed and dated by artist) #3 At least 25 advertising signs that are all readable and crystal clear #4 Pre-Green Monster Wall in left field #5 Of all the fans you can see, there is literally only 1 woman that I could find #6 Hall of Famer Red Ruffing (Red Sox) is pitching to Yankee Johnny Grabowski #8 #7 According to CF clock, the time is 4:18 pm which makes sense (photo is 1st inning of 2nd game of doubleheader) #8 On this day, on this field Babe Ruth was 3 for 9 with 3 RBIs and 2 stolen bases #9 On this day, on this field Lou Gehrig was 1 for 5 with a HR, 2 RBIs, and 3 walks #10 On this day, on this field Bill Dickey was 2 for 3 with a HR and 2 RBIs #11 Attendance was 28,000 at Fenway Park that day #12 Original glass and frame (glass is missing on far left side…. 7 inches of glass missing) #13 Incredibly preserved and crystal clear photo #14 Captures a moment in MLB that has numerous Hall of Famers contributing on that day #15 Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig had just been at bat in the 3 and 4 hole just before this photo was taken! #16 (as pointed out by David McDonald in this thread) Until 1933, there was a 10-foot incline in front of the then 25-foot wall in left field wall at Fenway Park, known as “Duffy's Cliff.” It was named after outfielder Duffy Lewis, who mastered the 15-degree incline.

What an extraordinary panorama and wonderful snapshot in time! I'd love to peruse it inch by inch with a magnifying glass. The clarity is terrific. I particularly like the fans with their heads turned to the camera. It's like they're the photo's subject and the rest is just phenomenal background.
I looked up the game's account in the next day's New York Times and have attempted to attach it to my post. It's a large file and am not sure if the whole thing will post or if it will be legible but here goes.

I had one heckuva mailday today.
I'm cracking the cases on both of these T206s. I want them both in my binder, and I also don't think the Seymour is a 1.   The cards pictured in both of these are from a Net54 member, Doug. He added the card in the second picture.   My COMC order came in...     And I still have one outstanding order coming from Scott from Net54.
