Cool card Leon. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is that Connie Mack's writing on the back?

Thanks to a fellow board member down to just needing 4 more players!

I am not a handwriting authenticity person and can't really tell. I certainly didn't expect it or think about it. His writing resembles this, as it's kind of fancy, but I seriously doubt it.

Cool card either way. If there was a way to confirm it was his it would make it that much more interesting. Do you recognize the name of the person who presented that card to whoever wrote that?

That's one thing I hate about Hunts, no back images. So I guess you asked for a back scan then??
For the price, its a nice addition for sure. Kinda reminds me seeing your Texas Tommy. Which I think I saw in a current or recent auction.

Great card, but that would be a RPC and not a RPPC due to the blank back.

Congrats again, Danny! I've got some catching up to do!

This is my first pre-war pickup in a long time thanks to board member bort69 for selling it to me. This one has been on my want list since I was a kid.

I was going to say, doesn't look anything like Baker.........

For only $1.99, I got 1/4 of the 1935 Goudey 4 in 1!

Now, regarding scarcity, the Lafitte is deceptive, because his flips were both "Lafitte" and "La Fitte," So you have to look for both, unless there are really two in the series? I am pretty sure this was just a typo by the graders. The Dunn really does have low numbers graded. I'm not sure how many raw there are out there. I don't remember if I posted the Wagner when I got it a few months ago, but I figured it looked good with the rest, so why not, just in case.

This came last week:



And this one showed up last night:



I'm down to just the Bell to finish up my version of the Brooklyn team set. I'm not going to do the "Out at Third" or the McIntyre "now with Chicago Nat'l" variation.

[Jobu]

OT, but when you see a card with your nickname on the front you are compelled to buy it.
