Second that Tim! (beautiful cards, ...)
I couldn't resist, after seeing the Old Puts; Here is a signed Fredericks CDV of "Old Put's"
(Gen. Isreal Putman, Rev. War hero) great grandson; in the era of when the Connecticut Tobacco Company was making the Old Put 5c. cigar. I love a good back story; still in progress.

Peckinpaugh properly spelled in this pose. Sorry, but it is not an E121:

Thanks Jerry and Ben on the Old Puts!

Ben, The CDV of Israel Putnam's grandson is really cool!!!!! Israel was a French and Indian War and Revolutionary War Veteran....Story goes is that he earned the "OLD PUT" nickname around the age of 24 when everybody in his town was having their animals terrorized by a big, bad wolf. His friends lowered him down into the den of the wolf by his feet tied to a rope, and he didn't have any fear and killed the wolf all by himself with his hands and buckshot. He "Held Put" as they say, and they nicknamed him Israel "Old Put".

Not necessarily baseball history, but American History!

Phil, especially love the BLUE Kling "Old Put" that you own!!!! I will keep my eye out for those 2 needed E98s!
Happy New Year everybody!!!!! Almost at least!

This kind of goes along with the pictures in posts 262 and 263.

won this recently at REA. Bid on it having no idea there were two separate versions and the Type II is much more rare than Type I. Turns out I was bidding on the Type II.

Brian,
Here is an E121 PeckinBaugh, incorrectly spelled.....

Brian, educate me/others on this. Is there a correctly spelled E121 Peckinpaugh in the set that is much rarer?? I am trying to figure out what your earlier post was getting at on his spelling

Thanks, Tim

I used to live in Putnam County, NY, where the general held a command once.

Adam,
Coooool!
There is so much, un-tapped history; connecting Old Put, the General and our hobby; with the E98 back stamp; just another, of my dive projects.
And I've got a few, ....

So happy to re-acquire this one, and even though I had to give up a nice card, my collecting tastes tilt this way.
I remember when I acquired it the first time. I am pretty sure I overvalued it by multiples ....not good when selling.
