Wow Hank, that's incredible. Gives this RPPC even more significance to me. Thank you for the history of your family.

I look at that photo of your Gpa at the top of his game and think he could of won 50 that year.

A couple RPPCs from the Cubs in the World Series. One of them has an actual bear Cub on the field! Wonder if they could get away with that now in today’s age.

I have a loose leaf folder filled with RPPC’s of local teams, factory teams etc. I feel they are a snap shot of history when barn storming was king and baseball was America’s Game. Things were simpler than. I think these PC’s are as important to the history of the game as any card of a major league player.

Hey Joe
I couldn't agree more. I think I have pared my holdings down to 200-300 of my favorite ones.

I really like these, too. Just some team players in a horse and wagon with their ladies.
