MARCH Pick Up Thread

[B O'Brien]

When I got home from work today, my wife asked me if I was more excited to see her or my Hooker. I begrudgingly had to admit, that I more excited to see my Hooker today.

A big thanks to Jay for helping out of this one by taking some trade to knock it down a little! Also thanks to Ryan for gathering and turning loose a few of the centerpiece cards in the run!

I’m happy to have a Hooker and a Shag holding down the two Old Mill slots in the backs line! I still have some of my 12 year old sense of humor!

I didn’t plan on adding this back to the run because I never thought I could land one, but knew it would bother me if I didn’t. One more monster checked off!

Enjoy the evening,
Bob

That is a great looking, dark and focused, overprint. Congrats.
Generally, I don't collect too many cards with creasing in the facial area, but this would be a definite exception.
And it's a difficult overprint. As I recall, it was the last one I needed to finish the known set at that time (long gone now). I think 1 more different one has been discovered, but my brain is always a bit foggy...the '70s and all....

Finally found a copy. Muchinsky's "Baseball Pinback Buttons" book. Looking forward to going thru it.

Got these beauties from Fed Ex a little while ago. Got into a little bit of a bidding war on the Jordan card.

Big Thanks to Ed Hans for some nice Coupons, including one of my new favorites .......

Had to have this Kruger --- It has everything !!!! Typewriter front / way cool redemption punch / Buck Barker scribbling .............

Babble time -- It's the St. Patty's parade in Savannah today. That's when all the tourists come and get sloppy drunk, and all the locals (like me) stay away:

Rudolph / a self made man -- He was a very successful pitcher (spit baller) in Toronto, but was annoyed he never got a major lg. chance. Often claiming he'd quit. So he wrote to many team presidents asking for try out, no responses. One day he recognizes a Braves coach on a train and corners him. He pestered the coach enough that he got a try out -- successful -- made team. The team was the 1914 Miracle Braves, which he did very well. In the WS, where Braves swept Athletics, he won both his games: Both complete, giving up only 1 run in each. So here we have a T206 player, who most (including me) just glance over turning into a very interesting Coupon player.

Kruger -- The most interesting aspect being that Baseball Reference shows he never played for Columbus (this may have been discussed before). During those years he played for Kansas City in the American Assoc. For those who care .......
