Love this one!

I always liked this one of Charlie Hall. It has a nice sunset background and a horizontal format that I like.

Erick, that is one of the iconic/coolest images.

Here is my favorite common - a recent pickup and quite uncommon

When he posed for his 1925 Exhibit card, I'm guessing that Earl McNeely is still on a happy high from knocking in the winning run in the 12th inning of the 7th game of the 1924 World Series, thereby making Walter Johnson the winning pitcher of the Washington Senators only World Series championship.

I love your narrative, Val; on Mr. McNeely's Exhibit.

It made me wonder if this was the look, Red Oldham gave the last 3 outs to get; in the 1925 World Series; as his team mates take the lead on Walter Johnson in Game 7. All Red had to do was get 3 future Hall of Famers; Sam Rice, Bucky Harris and Goose Goslin. Mission accomplished.

That Graham postcard is so cool! Truly a nice find.

Here's another cool common card (otherwise known as a CCC). The regular issue Diamond Star of Melillo is incredibly neat and interesting, but the one on the right with the customized outlining is pretty special too.
