The final installment...the good/bad luck cards. A few more examples of Good Luck, plus my favorite Good Luck and Bad Luck cards...."I wish you good luck and will try and give you back" with the funny little tongue sticking out drawing, "Luck to me but no bute ells (nobody else), and "Bad luck don't use this one for a tore(?). As it will bounce back. And you will lose."

Does anyone recognize whose handiwork this is on the back of this W575-1 card of Sam Rice?

One Doc Crandall w/ stats. The other looks like it says "Pot is Crandall" or "Pot 15 Crandall" Don't know.

The writing on the back of the 1921 card is likely intended to mean:
P (for pitcher) Otis Crandall (also known as "Doc" Crandall). https://www.baseball-reference.com/r...d=cranda002jam

Ah, thanks, Val. That's it. I read some more on Crandall just now, that Damon Runyon gave him the nickname "Doc", "the physician of the pitching emergency."

I haven't seen the writing on Val's card before, but I have seen the writing seen on the Crandall card. If I remember M. MaCrae's info correctly, he of the incredible PCL and card knowledge, these came from a collector with a substantial Zeenut collection who wrote on these as a kid in this distinctive fashion, and showed up in the Bay Area collecting scene in the 70-80's(?) There are a lot of them out there, I have a few.

The writing on the back of the Crandall card is from Norm McTeer's collection. He was an advanced West Coast collector from the 30's-70's. His collection of several thousand (Bay Area released) cards was broken down in the mid 70's and virtually every intermediate to advanced PCL collection will contain examples from his collection... By the way Brian, great collection of 'personalized' backs
