Love this image - I'm not familar with the issue... hard to find? Outside of my budget of $750?

Unfortunately not, it's very rare. This example sold for over $2000 in a 2010 Hakes auction. Not sure what the going rate would be today.

The t3 Turkey Red would be my choice.

I've always liked this little set of 1951 Connie Mack book cards

Mine also but I've always liked oversized cards.

For more readily available Rube cards I like his throwing poses (T3, T206, E93) over his portrait cards (T206, E254 Colgan's, Fan Craze).

As a (in theory) less expensive alternative, here is his E91A card, shown with his E254 Colgan's and T206 card to emphasize that Rube's E91A noggin was created utilizing the same noggin photo as seen on those two other cards.

Another of Rube's obtainable cards is his M116 Sporting Life.

I am not a fan of graded cards, and I normally despise the ones that have the interior 'baggie', but the image of this one (not mine) was so mesmerizing I decided to not crop it down to just the card. To me it looks like two tigers are facing each other, the one at the top of the card with angry eyes, and the bottom one with eyes that are cool and calculating.

Here is the T3. Also a great card, no one had posted the card so here it is.
