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

[molenick]

Great song and great prompt to post some players. I will add another Mungo with a card I won in the last REA auction. And I will use their image because it is much nicer than any scan I could do.

Thanks, I only show the backs if they have something to show. Otherwise, consider they are either normal or with paper loss.

30 to the set??

A card so significant it requires two scans to do it justice. An Enameline Doll diecut of you know who.

Hugh "Losing Pitcher" Mulcahy has one of the SPs in the Exhibit Salutations run. That one and Johnny Rizzo were the bane of my existence, collecting-wise, for quite some time. Both sold off years ago, but I do have a few cards from the Salutations run, so here's King Carl:

[brianp-beme]

Always willing to share an W9316 ugly or two, these being Veach with no squiggly lines, and Veach with the squiggles.

Brian (The question of the day to chew upon...if you were forced to own only one W9316 Veach card, which version would it be?)

Here is another player from the song.

Squiggles.

Also, why does my Veach say 30 to a set?

I am not much of a non-sports guy, but perhaps it is possible that this set could also non-sports subjects too, like several other strip sets of this era.
