Hey Val, how can I beyou when I am beme? Those are great cards, and I suggest that you also put them in my newly created Walter Mails Game card appreciation thread.

Can someone post that Melchior with the (ahem) alternate text?

Here you go...the D311 Melchoir with the T212 1911 Obak-esque back with alternative text.

I love the 1971 WS card of Robinson alone in the dirt smothering another Cincy potential hit. He was a man on an island no one could come close to his fielding in that Series. It's a dramatic photo I think.

To the original poster, the Schmidt is half of a photo with Harry Davis sliding in. I always thought it was cool that both cards were in the set.

Ditto. Especially as a kid, I marveled at how much ground Brooks was covering.
