Those are awesome OJ's.

I think my favorite is the Corkhill "Dying man reaching for morning paper" pose.

I didn't kill nothing but I bagged some nice cards.

The presence of Frank Schulte, front row 4th from the right (between Clyde Milan (R) and Eddie Foster (L) dates David's nice rppc to 1918.

Mark: You've got the eagle eye. Merito Acosta (front row, far right) was traded to the A's on May 25, 1918 so we're talking a narrow window in the Spring of '18 as to when this picture was taken. The absence of Sam Rice in the photo would be explained by the fact that he was in the army for much of the season.

I love flea markets.
Thank You, Brian for the Goudeys of Myatt and Jamieson.
Thank You, Tim for the exhibit of Greenberg.
Thank You to a dealer I didn't get the name of for the Churchman's Armstrong (OT).

Ah yes, nothing like hiding in the bushes and shooting a defenseless animal. Congrats!

David:

Love the Senators postcard, wondering if Sam Rice is pictured? Only played 4 games in 1915 ................

[Kawika]

Phil: I couldn't get Rice's face to fit any of the players. There's a bit of resemblance with the guy in the front row fourth from the left but I wouldn't bet a nickle that it's him. Maybe Val Kehl could weigh in. You can get a blow-up view of the post card at my ImageEvent page: http://tinyurl.com/3yxzcnl pw=aloha

David, those Shield postcards look great! Really like the period writing on back.

[Anthony S.]

I was wondering who won that Halla. Congrats, David.

[Anthony S.]

Love those low grade N172's with the strong contrast...

First of all, I hate deer as much as the next guy. They eat all my plants and are a nuisance with the ticks and the running in front of the cars, etc.

Also, I love to eat meat... lots of it.

But you gotta exercise a little discretion before you show off your hunting photos on a baseball card board. Tons of people find that kind of stuff really offensive. And as much as I hate deer and love meat, even I found that photo more sad than anything else.

Isn't there a dead animal board you can post that on?

player upgrade... I didn't expect to win this....

More like: Nothing like spending a week in the outdoors with my Dad, hiking about 50 miles and thousands of feet, and finally harvesting an older buck that will feed my family and certain families I know that are out of work and have nothing in their cupboard. The money that hunters spend gives ranchers an economic incentive to perserve and protect their land from real estate developers, and the animals harvested keep the deer population in balance with the native vegetation so it is not wiped out. Yes, I choose to get my meat this way rather than support a corporate meat farm that is run like a death camp and produces tons of environmental waste.

To each his own, but if that makes me a bad person, so be it.

Anthony, those are some AWESOME cards !!!
