The pink flower stitching really makes the Bresnahan 'pop'.

None of "them guys" seams(!) particularly happy about the pink threads!

The approximate 4 to 1 gals to guy ratio should be making the fellas happy, no matter what the color of stitching.

Nice item.

I have been eyeing the b-18 patchwork blankets and pillows for years.

Although I am not a sharpie expert (at least I have never testified as such in the court of law), to me it does look like a sharpie. My thoughts have been that it was done sometime in the 1960's to 1970's time range. And it is cool. Here is another one:

Regardless of when it was done it looks cool. Some writing on cards gives them a lot more character.

Interesting set of Cracker Jack plates. Not sure what, if anything, this group of players has in common, but this was the full set of these from the original owner. And yes, those are actually cards set on a white background frame and inset into the plate!

The Darling OJ is maybe my favorite card in my entire collection. It is absolutely haunting.

I also particularly enjoy the T206 Elberfeld with the mystery zeppelin (?) overprint/stamp/whatever. I have never been able to determine exactly what it is, but I find it quite cool nonetheless.

Brian: Back in the day they made these wood burning kits. It might be neat to "wood burn" over the sharpie.
My dare to be different isn't a baseball card or pre war hope you don't mind me sharing.
