(Please see my other thread trying to identify the player in the background)

Thanks Jay and nice Cicotte yourself Daniel--thanks for either not bidding or stopping short. The 1916 card prices were modest compared to the 1921's. I got skunked on the Herps, not in the ballpark on most or even in the nearby parking lot on others. Really wanted the Hooper but it was not to be and they all ended up beyond my reach. Oh well, the Morehouse hit the spot for me, and I could even have a few $$$ left over to spend on the Holidays, assuming my computer crashes and I can't bid on any more auctions beforehand.

Right. Part of the mystery I unraveled this morning (detailed in the other thread) is that this is not a picture of the Chicago Whales as advertised, but a post-merger 1916 Spring Training picture of the Cubs wearing the old uniforms.

I was trying for a few other things but this was my lone winner.

Thanks Bicem, Swadewade51 and Pherbener for the kind words. It’s my first Matty and I love it. The more I dig into the history of all these old photos the more I love them. I can say i am officially hooked on these old vintage photos. Thanks to everyone along the way with all the helpful advice.
