Bregstone PC of Rube Waddell on Hakes

[Greenmonster]

Yes I was Bridesmaid on the Waddell but I did roll over the budget for a couple of wins in the Legendary auction.

This one sold on eBay several years ago. I haven't seen another on that site since.

So I didn't want to say anything until I had the card in hand (superstitious like that) but I won the Bregstone Rube and it arrived today. It's really nice! This scan gives you a better idea of what it really looks like...



also, picked up this Waddell related postcard from ebay... (top row, 2nd from left, Joe McGinnity also pictured in the middle)

Jeff,
Fantastic pickup
glad you won it

Jeff,

I saw the Newark postcard after it ended. Nice find. Pretty good week for you in terms of rare Waddell postcard pick-ups. Kind of a vintage card version of two (3 really) perfect games in one month.

Only $2K?

I wish I had $3K to bid, easily a bargain....

Can't be many of them floating around - a true gem.

agreed Mark, I was prepared for a much tougher battle for it, I think the small auction venue kept the price down.

Interesting read on the previous owner, he was quite the character...

Richard was one of a kind Jeff, no doubt about it.
