I absolutely agree with you regarding the Mike "King" Kelly N162 card.

Consider this....it appears as if the artist of this card drew the storm clouds in the background to coincide with Kelly's "wild" life style.

Furthermore, did the same artist draw the sunset in the Cap Anson card to illustrate that he was nearing the "sunset of his career" ?

Interesting theory about the backgrounds. It also seemed like Allen & Ginter and other competitors stopped making cards after the N162 set came out, as if the N162 devastated the competetion. Seeing how beautiful these cards are, I wouldn't doubt it

Here is my own modest contribution. Nonetheless they are some of my favorites. Sorry for the size. Does any TPG grade Dixie lid premiums?

Thanks Mike! By the way I have never seen a Dixie lid premium without the hole punches othere than the black and white ones released in the '50s. I have always loved their color. I think they are very under valued but I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm only missing the Feller to complete the '37 and '38 baseball players. For some reason it sees to be very difficult to come across a nice one. I have been looking for a number of years with no success. The last one I saw on ebay was signed with a personalization. Due to that I passed on it and am now aware I shoudn't have.
