I'm sick of all this damn money talk; let's have a virtual card show

Who said the Wicky McAvoy didn't have a baseball card?
With the unexpected death of Mike Powers; no "name plate" scrap from the cut sheets; good typewriter work of A's office secretary; .....
Poof!

C46 "Salida" Tom Hughes.
E91C "Long" Tom Hughes;
..... or is that Eddie Plank? Nope it says it is Tom Hughes; even though it looks like Eddie Plank; .... and Tom Hughes was a right-handed pitcher. Then again, so was Big Train.
(I know all the back story of E91; just felt a little whimsical)

Definitely an interesting card. And here is a M116 Fred Beck masquerading as Mr. Schmidt. My M116, unlike Ben's, definitely has the remnants of the original name and team ('Beck' and 'Boston Nationals') on the bottom border.

.... and seeing that Mike Nesmith's Mom hadn't invented 'Wite-out' yet; I'm curious; as to how they faded out, in order to type in a different one.

For those who think it wasn't a big deal; to have your own baseball card back then; George Pierce had a T210 and a C46, but not a "major league" card. Ironic, that Harry Steinfeldt passes; someone creates a M116 with their typewriter skills. Heck, Brian; who's to say that George's fingerprints aren't all over that beauty that you own? At least, family or friends prints.

Things that make you go, Hmmmm.

(this stuff finds me)

Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves. I love stuff like this.

Ben.
