Excited to finally cross this one off the want list! Makes 4.5 out of 8 Black Sox (.5 for my Mrs Joe Jackson). Now need to hope the Lefty Williams check comes back up for sale.

Thomas, that's just a thing of beauty. I'm extremely jealous. Where did you end up finding that one?

Thomas, the auto looks perfect to me, but I'm curious about the date on the bottom. Anything known about that?

Nevermind, I found the answer from Sabr.

Many baseball historical resources list Felsch’s birth date as August 22, 1891, or unspecified dates in 1893 or 1894. However, his 1943 application for a Social Security number and his 1964 death certificate both state that he was born on April 7, 1891, to Berlin natives Charles and Marie Felsch (nee Tietz or Tiegs).2 Charles was a north side carpenter
