Julie Vognar1) Something I've been wanting for a long time. It'll usually be 19th century.

Game cards are underpriced. Some are beautiful--or have beautiful cards in them. The WG1 is beautiful; the National Game has beautiful cards in it, as does the Polo Grounds. The E.R. Williams set is quaint and attractive, and has two players on each card--a FAIRLY good likeness. Some of the Fan Craze portraits are wonderful, and can be found nowhere else (Duffy and Hanlon come to mind; the Lajoie and Plank, though not the only uses of the particular picture, seem partricularly magnificent because of their generous size).
Many of the prices in the new Catalogue are STAGGERING; it's also news to me that Peck and Snyder never made a baseball card...
The photo of Hoffman in John's original post is from "Rain Man," with T206 substituted for other viewing matter.
