Had to laugh at the "now dead" caption as if whoever wrote it might forget. BTW I think it's a great looking card.

I like period writing and backstamps, you have to remember for the longest time these cards had no value other than flipping against a wall or putting them in your bike spokes.

Like many, I did this with my Topps cards when I was a kid. However, given the small size of the T206s, I doubt that many were flipped against walls or put in bike spokes.

For me this hobby has always been chasing the magic of discovering baseball cards as a 10 year old kid. Pure, innocent, and genuine. Good stuff. |

Thanks for the nice words and great comps! I have a real small Joss collection and I was a little nervous that this card was worthless. At least my wife can sell it someday (not for much) instead of mixing it in with the beanie babies!

It is always nice to have personal stats on the card.

Not a T206, and more of an impression than “writing,” but I’m sensing a theme and potential collecting focus here.
