Uncommonly wonderful commons

Great thread!

I always found it amusing that Paul Richards is the subject of one of the most aesthetically pleasing and one of the ugliest cards as well. Tough to beat his ‘33 Goudey in terms of attractive subject matter. But the Bowman company didn’t reciprocate with their best effort...

But you made a better point. The contrast between those two is pretty amazing. Funny thing, I bought both of those two Richards, years apart, as the result of postings here on N54.

3 of my favorites are the Al Burch (Batting), the Frank Demaree 33 Goudey even if he does make Mike Donlin's hands look small, and the Diamond Stars Van Mungo, mostly because I would like the Dodgers use a Hawaiian themed jersey for either a Van Mungo day every year or just use it for this season if it does happen.

The 1933 Goudey of Richards has always been a favorite as well. And speaking of leg kicks, a couple of pitchers in the W711-1 Reds issue probably had a contest to see how high of kick they could do when the photographer was there to take their pictures.
