PEACHES FOUND! My new T3 1911 Boston Rustler

[JJ McGraw]

Well , I guess I was half wrong or right about there being another single Boston National in the T3 set. I had not forgotten but, I bought this a few weeks back, but as I collect NY Giants as well, I snagged this Fred Tenney for his NY pedigree, BUT forgot that at the bottom ID it said “ TENNY NY and BOSTON NAT’L”. Receiving this card today and looking at the Herzog “ JORDAN AND HERZOG AT FIRST” , which I don’t own….yet…..it is clear that both Tenney and Herzog, even though they were both Boston Rustlers at the time, are clearly in NY Giant’s uniforms.
Tenney was released from the Giants in 1909 and was a player/manager for the Rustlers for 1910 and 1911. We’ve discussed Herzog earlier. So, barring any player coming out of the mist of time in the T3 set, it seems good old Peaches was the only Boston National in the correct uniform. Now this is nothing new , especially in many of the T series cards. But my suspicion , I believe was right. Peaches Graham is the only Boston National in that uniform.
The first 4 images are my Tenney card that arrived today, complete with its own “character” ( which I love). It appears someone wrote on it in pencil, the someone, who knows when, attempted to erase the pencil, only to remove the frame color in that spot. I love this card.
The other images are not my cards , but help illustrate the discussion above.The black and white portrait is Tenney as a Beaneater from 1894-1907.
Really , the “Giants” players are not the same even, Tenney in a white cap with piping, Herzog with a black cap. I wouldn’t have it any other way!
