Took a shot at a raw card and am pretty happy with the results: a Zeenut year that is tough to find with a coupon and a pretty good player as well (I assume this is Doc Crandall since the year and team matches up). According to Baseball Reference he won over 300 games when his major and minor league records are combined and according to Wikipedia he was in the inaugural class of the PCL Hall of Fame in 1943.

Another benefit of raw cards is that they scan much better (at least with my crappy scannner where I can't adjust the focus).

That is Doc Crandall, who evidently was the first MLB pitcher to be used consistently as a relief pitcher, and was given the nickname Doc by Damon Runyon who said Crandall was "the physician of the pitching emergency." Which of course is pretty cool.

Besides multiple Zeenut cards, Doc is also seen in the T205, T206, T207 and Cracker Jack sets, as well as others.

Tough card of Ewing

Net54 coming out of the gate strong like Medina Spirit.

Chris, that Yum Yum is amazing, you don't see those everyday.
Nice to see Matthew find an Ott that fits his centering ocd.

Bringing one of Leons 2015 Orphans back to the clubhouse. I believe its currently the only known example of an orange backed Weaver type 2 E100.

Incredible card Chris.

Only to be followed by another incredible card Phil! I only know of that Orange Weaver and two Green Weavers.

Crandall was also a very good hitter, and in 1914 for the St. Louis Terriers in the Federal League he was also used a second baseman. Which worked pretty well, as that year he went 13-9 with a .309 average and.429 OBP. He hit .285 for his major league career, and in the minors he hit as high as .356.
