I think the ears are off Mike...

And I think his nose is too long. But well played.

I tried to do a Joe Jackson T211 one year, I’m not so good with the photoshop.

Well, this joke didn't get too far, haha...

We did this April Fool's post about 10-12+ years ago...Wonka did the photoshopping, and a bunch of us (Me, Joe D, etc) played along. It got surprisingly far.

Anyway, would be an epic card, if real.

A bunch of cool Ruth items recently picked up:

1947 Ford Motor Company Ruth - Pop 6 on PSA/SGC charts
1930s - Ruth Sweatshirt + Beanie
1927 Babe Comes Home publicity photo
Babe Ruth Stationary and check from a board member

Great pickups, Jim!

I got this Ruth postcard from LOTG. Just really liked the image.

My very first Wagner card too!

Thanks,
Bob

Not a card, but possibly unique. Finding a baseball player on a gem tintype is extremely unusual, finding a team is unprecedented, to my knowledge. This one is definitely 1860s vintage. Gem tintypes measure approximately 1" x 1". This one is 3/4" x 15/16".

I thought you might like this one, Leon.

Picked up these two, helping to round out the whole picture of LEAF and it's offerings.

Great pick up, Gary. Love the really early stuff...

You could make a locket for it and wear it around! Was that what it was originally intended for?

Great pick up Gary (glad it went to a good home). Yes, certainly 1860s not 1875. I have 3 gem types all single portraits and I have never seen one with more than 1 player let alone an entire team.
