I hesitated but reminded myself of the rarity of these cards - especially Eddie Plank.

Congrats on the Plank.

I know for a fact there will be a 1914 CJ Ed Walsh SGC 2.5
in the REA Spring auction starting on April 5th, 2024.

Congrats on the pickups!! '14 CJs are tough and they have become tougher over the past few years. There have not been many up for sale lately.

Here's a (real) card to keep Leon calm:

Charles A. "Chick" Gandil. First baseman for the Washington Senators in 1912-1915. 1,176 hits and 151 stolen bases in 9 MLB seasons. 1917 World Series champion. He led AL first baseman in fielding percentage 4 times. He debuted with the Chicago White Sox in 1910. His best season was 1913 with Washington as he posted a .363 OBP with 72 RBI's and 22 stolen bases in 603 plate appearances. He finished his career with the Chicago White Sox in 1917-1919. He is best known as the "ringleader" of the players involved in the 1919 Black Sox scandal.
