The "Jolly McLean Giant"....show us your Larry McLean stuff
 

A tremendous fan favorite during his 7 years with Cincinnati (1906-12), John "Larry" McLean stood 6' 5". McLean is the tallest Catcher ever in Major League Baseball (MLB).
After a couple of good years with the New York Giants, McLean's MLB career came to a sudden end in the Spring of 1915 when he picked a fight with John McGraw and the
Giants' scout Dick Kinsella. Six years later in a Boston speakeasy, McLean was shot by the bartender and died at age 39.

OK, guys show us your "jolly McLean giant" cards, photos, memorabilia, etc.

I'll start this show with some of my cards......

He ain't pretty, but my lone McLean, an e98.

He definately has character. What's not to like?:)

A cheap pickup for my e98 set....I won't complain. :)

Already shown, but it's the only one I have.

Here's a few more. Sorry for the duplication on the T205

One of my Favorite E98s!
 

The McLean is one of my favorite cards in the E98 set! I love the darkness of his jersey top.
Nice card Jimi! Glad to see others who appreciate E98s, especially the lower condition ones like I do! Best of luck with your building of your set.
Tim Kindler

Thanks, Tim! What are you building with your e98s? Just a McLean e98 all backs, or a master e98 set?

It looks like your McLean is an E90-1 card. If so, it's one of McLean's toughest cards to find (in any condition).

Thanks,

TED Z

Hello Ted
Here is the back of the card. Definitely a rough condition example

Sure enough, it's an E90-1.

my mclean scrap....
 

This beauty came from the t206 shoebox of cards that LEON's multi-strike back came from...........

It was found with a few other freaks in that box in nyc at a comic store called "little NEMO's"....

I wish it was Leon's card:o, but i'll take this sweet piece of scrap!!(not crap:))


......missing a color pass or 2 and obviously hand cut from a sheet

back.....
 

the mclean back....

My only McLean:

That photo must belong to a collector with impeccable taste ;-)

McLean
 

Jimi- He's got the master set fever :)
Bob

The only cure is more cow bell!
 

Bob, The unfortunate thing is there seems to be no cure...... at least it feels like we will never get to the end of our goals; you on E94s and me on E98s. Oh well, it's the hunt that is exciting....at least that is what I keep telling myself.:p
Best,
Tim

Larry says hi.

Love It!
 

Pete,
Love your BS find McLean. The green pops on it and the image is so crisp and clear. Like I said earlier in the thread, this is one of my favorite E98s!
