Just wanted to post how much I love this thread and Rhett's generous offer. So glad the OP was able to find a card of his grandfather.

This has been one of my favorite posts recently. Thanks OP and glad you are getting g-pa's card.

Rhett, you are amazing. Fantastic example for us all.

It does look like he threw the ball through the card. Lol

Wow! If this is not the best vintage card site on the planet, I don't know what is. Great story and great members! It is super cool we have members who would do that.

That was an awesome thread. BTW, I had a great, great-uncle who played a little ball in the majors, and I don't have a card of him. I wonder if someone would be so kind to send a card of him from the era he played. His name was George Ruth. I think he played for a New York team. He had a nickname, but I can't remember what it was. Someone want some good karma?

I have a card of Mr. Ruth, but I found it in an attic of my great grandfather's chiropractor and need to sell it to pay for my horse's braces. God Bless.

P.S. I am not an expert.
