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

I have not been posting long enough to be a rebel and post multiple cards, or postwar cards, so I will just go with one of my top ten (possibly top five) prewar favorites.

Thanks, guys. Halla was kind of my gateway drug to Zeenuts and PCL cards in general. I had consigned some items to an auction and noticed Halla was also in the auction. It seemed like a cool card, so I used some of my proceeds towards buying it. I don't have a massive amount of Zeenuts, but they are an enjoyable part of my collection.

One of the few Negro League cards issued in the United States. Have any of you ever seen one of the 8 x 10 photos mentioned on the back of the card?

If you have read "Fifty-nine in '84" (if you haven't, you should), you understand what Hoss Radbourn endured to win 59 (or 60) games with 73 complete games and 678.2 innings pitched. The 59 wins is a permanent (presumably) MLB record and the innings pitched is second all-time.

You also understand that Radbourn's decision to "pitch the rest of the season" meant that his battery mate, Barney Gilligan, would catch the rest of the season. Catching is difficult (and dangerous) today, but not nearly as brutal as it was in 1884. The physical trauma experienced by Gilligan was at least as difficult as that endured by Radbourn.

Gilligan eventually played for the Washington Nationals in 1886 and 1887, fortunate timing that allowed him to leave us this card.
