I don't collect baseball cards anymore, but recently purchased these two Babe Ruth RPPC's from Frank - I could not resist the one on the left since there is a huge poster of it at the Pool Hall I frequent and I've been looking for a smaller version for years. The one on the back is blank-backed, from the '30s. |

two Fan Craze (Huggins, Willis), a MYOB, two Starffins--Russian pitcher who pitched his whole life in Japan, and a very nice GAI 3 Collins. |

I'll probably end up having to sell this one, but here is my most recent pickup, a '54 Wilson Franks Williams: |

Real nice Williams card. I can't do it. As a vegetarian, it's just kind of nasty to me ... What happened to a good old american Broccoli set? |

Picked up a T206 Addie Joss with no name. I have not received it yet, but I suspect it is printers scrap. |

just won this - leaving me only the green to obtain. Low grade, but nice for the technical grade IMO. |

My guess is the card was left under the light too long and faded. |

The card looksmlike it got the last of red ink before it ran out. If it was fading due to light I'd think you would see some toning of the paper too and that just isn't there. I ahve seen others like this, but my guess is that the red ink was almost gone |

I had a printing company for many years many years ago and I can tell you this that the Red or Magenta is the color that has the least amost of stead fastness which means that it will fade much quicker then the other colors Cyan, Yellow and black especially if exposed to direct sun light. I think that the card has faded from to much direct exposure and not because the press operator ran out of red ink. Just my 2 cents |

My experience has also been that red fades the most, especially in 1941 Play Balls. |

If the card has faded, what impact do you imagine that would have on the grade? |

or he'll get his own, if you want to leave the whole thing up to him. Standard ball has two paintings, with two quarters of printing, and an identifying name on the end. |

It's ten times nicer than the photos. It looks like he spent 100s of hours on it. The background for all the printing is the same light sepia as the background for the portrait, and he's incorporated the stitches into the disigns on both sides. The "HOSS RADBOURNE" is not a true red, but a sort of red-brown, and the painting of the photo with the bird looks like a true photograph. I love the way the stiches on the right of the photo go right across the faces of the two men to Hoss's right. |

Julie- can you give me a rough idea what he charges for the balls? I would love to get a Buck Weaver ball with the T207 and Zeenut pics on it. |
