Maybe it's because of the larger format (and it's Babe Ruth), but I find myself staring this card more than almost any other in my collection. I don't know if it's mesmerizing, but I think the Babe looks kind of sad in this one....

I agree. I always thought maybe he went 0 for 4 that day.

Here is another sad W517 fellow who keeps staring at me as if quietly pleading out for help.

Am I remembering correctly that he had to borrow the suit he was wearing in the classic HOF induction group photo? In spite of his sad, itinerant later years, if a fan could find a way to get a letter to him, he'd graciously reply, usually on the stationery of whatever hotel he was staying at when replying.

From my collection, this postcard (just a wee bit trimmed) of WaJo is the one that does it for me:

Floating heads are always mesmerizing, especially when they are bobbing within a sea of grayish muck.

Mendez was a scary looking guy. Less mesmerizing, more zombie.

As seen in the previously posted 1939 Play Ball, the intense but patently non-evil Charlie Gehringer stare-down has put many a beholder into a trance.
