Lefty O'Doul's first card........
 

Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>It appears to be the general consensus of this borad that Lefty O'Doul is regarded as the third best MLB player (after Shoeless Joe & Pete Rose, of course) not currently in the BB HOF. Other than his numerous Zeenut PCL cards, what would be the earliest card issue for Lefty?

Posted By: <b>boxingcardman</b><p>It shows him as a Giant. The Exhibit shows him with the Phillies, which means it was made after his trade. However, since he has a 1918, 1921, 1925, 1926 and 1927 Zeenut, the first MLB card is kind of an irrelevant debate.<br /><br /><a href="http://imageevent.com/exhibitman/frankleftyodoulcard" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://imageevent.com/exhibitman/frankleftyodoulcard</a><br><br>Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Boxingcardman,<br /><br /> I posted my Seattle Popcorn O'Doul on the post-war site, in the food issues thread. I believe it is Lefty's last card as a manager. You're welcome to copy the picture and put it on your wonderful Lefty O'Doul webpage. I'd also be happy to send you a scan.<br /><br />Paul

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>R315's are listed in the 2008 SCD as being from 1929-30, but if O'Doul is shown with NY NL it should be noted that the R315's also might have came out in 1928 (the 2003 SCD listed the R315's as 1928)<br /><br />These 2 are also from 1929 but show him with Phil NL.<br /><br />But like others said, the Zeenut cards are much earlier so its no big deal which card was his first in the Majors.<br /><br /><img src=http://centuryoldcards.com/images/1929w553odoul.jpg><br />1929 W553<br /><br /><img src=http://centuryoldcards.com/images/1929r316odoul.jpg><br />1929 R316
