Historical importance and rarity aside, that Menéndez card is just a great looking baseball card.

Pete Hill rookie (1909 Cabanas) 1 known copy

Pop Lloyd - 1923-24 Tomas Gutierrez - 6 graded copies

Amazing!
Definitely envious!
The Mendez is spectacular as is the Pete Hill

Kenny is right here, but also Pop Lloyd and Jose Mendez each have 2 graded copies of the 1910 Punch Cigarros series

Amazing photography... here are both graded cards - I think that I had posted these before, but probably not together...

I believe Jesse also appears on the 1920 Koestler Bread set, holding a bunch of shag balls. I remember because I had one once.

Yes, Burkett appears in the Koester Bread set, as a coach, long after his playing days ended.
