Wanted to circle back to this one. Fantastic card Chris. One of my all time favorites. When you find a card, like yours, with bold colors, it is really striking. Watch out though. You'll find yourself wanting more with different backs. LOL Well done.

Thank you Dean! Collecting T206 HoF cards is definitely a...I don't know if problem is the right word, but I do know I feel the need to hide my laptop while drinking now.

If you'd told a 12 year old me that I would one day own a Cy Young card, I would never have believed you.

I have the same feelings about Ty Cobb.

Relatively underrated T206 caption error when compared to "DOPNER"...

I think I'll go with Delahanty today.

Another day, another tough choice. But since Kawika posted a Spider Baum Zeenut (I love Zeenuts with tabs) here is another Spider Baum Zeenut (1911, before tabs were on on the cards). I always thought Baum was just another guy but this thread prompted me to do some research. He was a career minor leaguer but since his career was so long, according to VCP he appeared in 18 different sets (all featuring PCL players). Any thoughts on whether that is a record for someone who never played in the majors?

He is actually HOFer Spider Baum (the Pacific Coast League Hall of Fame, that is) having won 267 in his 15 seasons in the league. More info can be found in the usual places (baseball-reference.com and Wikipedia).

Nice Baum's. I collect PCL HOF'ers. I'm not sure why. I have no connection to the area but I just really find the early history of that league interesting. Here's one of my favorites:

Amazing card, I got it on my bucket list. Got to be one of the most tragic ends to any HOF's life.

Another tragic end. Robert Unglaub died in 1916 when a trains cargo box fell off and smashed him while he worked his side job. He was the player/ manager for the Fargo Graingrowers at the time.
