Thursday at the National, I visited Net54 member Taxmechanicks' (Glenn) table, and picked up an 1887 Buchner Gold Coin card of Doc Bushong. Leaving behind that Scrapps tobacco card of Bushong that I still remembered. I think my reason for choosing the Buchner Gold Coin card was #1 it was older #2 I liked his picture in the catchers gear.

Back at the hotel Thursday night, I regretted not purchasing the Scrapps tobacco card, and planned on hitting up Glenns table first thing Friday to purchase the Bushong card I left behind. Thankfully it was still available.
Nice. A couple weeks ago I sold an N172 Doc Bushong on ebay to his great grandson. I wonder if it was the same guy.
