Damn. I was excited at-first when I noticed the upside down / Photoshop version!

Just picked up this Halloween Wagner variation on eBay.

David:

I hate to tell you this. I mean I really don't want to be the one to break it to you. In fact, I hope someone may have PMed you and I am not the one to break this to you. I live by the credo: "No one loves the messenger that brings bad news." Who knows there is a tiny possibility that I could be wrong and besides it's not the end of the world if I'm right - you have a fabulous collection anyway. But...again, I didn't want to be the one to break this to you, buuuttttt that's not Buzz Arlett. It's Alexander Arlett (his brother). No big deal. He wasn't such a bad player, anyway.

I almost made the same mistake too.

As usual T.H.E. Cat is correct. While both Buzz and Pop played for Oakland in 1918 the player pictured is Alexander "Pop" Arlett.

Damn nice card though. 1918 is widely recognized as the toughest of all zeenut issues mainly due to the War. I think too, though not as often mentioned, that the influenza outbreak of 1918 may have played a role.

That was killer-you got me hook,line and sinker-I was looking for trade bait and ready to email you tonight.

That is what makes this board great!

If it makes you feel any better, I was relatively excited last week to get a Herman Pillette card only to find out it was Ted Pillette.

Hmmm, what's that T. Pillette on the front of the card mean? Cat begins to contemplate: Must be his nickname: "Tough guy" Herman Pillette.....yeah, yeah, that's the ticket.
