1927 Middy Bread

I would say kind of similar to the small group of William Patersons on eBay not too long ago. Condition was pretty rough on those but still a super rare set and nothing really exploded beyond the parameters that I just mentioned before.

Was there a Travis Jackson in there?

Happy to add this item to my "Football Players In Another Sport" collection!

Congrats Jeff. I've been looking for that Nevers for decades. I have one of his Zeenuts but would really like a card of him as a major leaguer, and I think the Middy Bread is the only one.

Thanks Paul! I think you are correct that this is the only card of him as a major leaguer. Both Zeenuts have him with a minor league team.

Great pick-up, Jeff!

I had the WP Travis at one time, the only example I ever came across during the 10 years that I was collecting that stuff. One of the toughest HOF rookie cards that there is.

Just catching up with this thread...

Great pickup, Jeff!!! I'd love to see a picture of that card with some kind of scale. (I'm still trying to get a feel for how close the reprints were to the original cards in size.)
