This Hick Cady arrived in the mail this morning. It was graded Authentic by SGC which must have scared off a lot of buyers. I can't think of a better card for a lifetime Red Sox fan. The card softens the pain of the "lost weekend" in Texas for this year's Red Sox team.

A boardmember recently picked one up, and I then decided I should have this classic catcher pose card in my collection. Since there are only a handful of PCL cards left on my wantlist, and also only a few more cards on my type card list for the 7 major league catchers I collect, I have started adding a few beautiful examples of other major league players' cards such as the Bill Bergen E101 card as well as this Hick Cady card.

Nice Cady, I happened to just pick up a Cady as well. Very rare Underwood postcard series...

[Vintagecatcher]

Jeff,

Congrats on picking up the Underwood & Underwood PC. It shows that the image on the Cracker Jack of Cady reflects what he truly looked like.

Love that plowboy. Is silly playing on a roof?!

[iwantitiwinit]

That Cady CrackerJack is sweet. Might even consider resubmitting it, worst case it comes back authentic again.

You got a GREAT price on that one, Patrick! Nice pickup

[Mikehealer]

One of my favorite poses.

@Mikehealer - That's a sweet Nap. At a PSA 2, I'm guessing there's some kind of adhesive (or the like) on the back that accounts for the grade. Regardless, a beautiful card.
