Snuck this one in before I cut myself off until my consigned items all sell at auction next month

It is my 5th ad back in the 1916 run and I had not seen this ad back for many years

Bravo Jeff! That is one handsome card.

Not the prettiest Ruth, but I’m happy I finally snagged his rookie card.

Super happy to have acquired this card for my west coast type collection.

1888 N338-1 SF Hess California League. About 20 known examples exist so right up there with Hens Teeth.

When Lew Lipset's The Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards Volume 1 - 19th Century Cards was published in 1983, he noted that S. F. Hess California League cards "must rate with Four Base Hits as the rarest of the 19th century photographic cards."

At that time only sixteen cards in the set were known to exist, including eleven different in the Burdick Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Four new additions to the set have been discovered since.

This is one of them.
