Speaking of Thorpe's M101 card.
I had two of these about 2 1/2 years ago, but got talked out of one of them by someone who shall remain nameless. I have no regrets it is gone.
I was lucky enough to buy a bunch of cards back in 1983 that included some of this series. All of their conditions were close to the same. This card included.
they were in numeric ordered, and started one card after Ruth all the way to Vaughn, with doubles on Thorpe , and Tinker, singles on Stengle , Sisler and Schalk. Yes having the Ruth would be a dream come true, but I can't complain.
I actually had about a buck each in close to 600 T- series and E-eries from this purchase back then, but then again if you look at a 1983 price guide you would think I overpaid for some of them.
I have just within the last couple years started parting with any dupes,
It just made me think of it, because I think this particular Thorpe is such a great looking card.
I lurk mostly, but it is time to get off my ass and participate when i have time.
