Instead, only 1 card ever. I was able to buy mine a few years ago, thank you Leon. And a Whitehead & Hoag pin, WHICH I NEED if anyone has one.
By comparison, my son was drafted by the KC Chiefs in 2011, stayed with the organization for barely 2 seasons, never played a regular season down and has 154 unique cards. Crazy.

Not only do you have a cool 19th century player, you also have a great-uncle as well in the majors. Is there anything out there for uncle Tom?
