Not for sale, only for share…
My newest HOF “playing days” card quest has taken a bit of a tangent turn…. I just picked up this amazing, original July 1869 Harpers Weekly (full edition!) with this incredible image of baseball’s first-ever professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, with pioneer Hall of Fame brothers, George and Harry Wright. As a cool bonus, check out the image adjacent to the Red Stocking image - an unusually busy collection of images celebrating peace…. from the US Civil War (!) which ended 4 years before this paper was produced. I am a HOF card collector like so many of you - but I encourage you to do yourself a favor and add some breadth to your vintage collectuon and you’ll LOVE your own finds like this! Happy Friday, Jeff
