Default Favorite personal vintage "find" or research story

Posted By: warshawlaw

It hasn't been delivered yet. When it comes in, I will post if it merits it.

The internet is the greatest resource ever created for purposes of researching obscure cards, players, teams, etc. I simply cannot believe what I dredge up sometimes. Here are a few:

I purchased a pristine Ruth stereoview and found out all about it from a library here in California that was given the archives of the company. They had information not only on the card but on the circumstances of its underlying photo shoot.

I found a Zeenut of a light-hitting 1st baseman with the Seals in the late 1920s. After extensive research on the net I was able to add a new name to my list of Jewish ballplayers with cards. I think Old Cardboard will soon run a story on it.
