Or am I just pushing the photo identification a little too far?

Brian, I'm the last person to comment on photo identification, however, when I was looking at these I also found a composite that uses headshots from these that was sold by REA back in 2011 (https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=19698). The composite itself identifies each player. REA further identifies that Donovan played for Pittsburgh. The thing to note here is that the California tour was not simply Baltimore vs others, but the Baltimore team consisted of a few players that were not from the Baltimore team and likewise some Baltimore players were absent.

Always missed this card after I sold my last one. Happy and fortunate to pick another one up.

Also picked up Phila A's with Mack at center, another scarce M101-2 team card, joining Cubs and Tigers. Very tough to find and in this condition. Double-sized, hence the fold.

This arrived in yesterday's mail. It's in nice shape; the surface is fairly clean, the registration above average, and the color is vibrant.

I'm not as concerned with centering these days because bidding can get fiercely competitive for reasonably well-centered T206 cards. So, I didn't dismiss this out-of-hand when I saw it. Glad I gave the card a second look and decided to bid. I picked it up with an old-school, manually placed (no fancy software for me) last-second snipe.

I now have all four T206 John McGraw cards. Achievement unlocked.

EDITED TO ADD: the red background is not two-tone; that's the shadow/reflection of my phone

This cool D310 Pacific Coast Biscuit arrived this morning.

Picked up this Hogan D310 in the recent Robert Edward Auction.
