OK Dan - so one of them got a hit or something, right? I (ahem) don't know who batted in which order, but they batted consecutively, right? Looks like someone made it to first though? |

I never noticed that until just now....I wonder if the shots were taken in consecutive at bats? |

I don't think they are in consecutive order since the batters box in the lower picture looks untouched. It looks like the infield was just watered in the bottom picture. I love the two pictures, it's kind of like playing one of those games where you have to find 10 things different between the pictures. |

I won on eBay a collection of letters from the advertised likes of Joe Garagiola, Bill Freehan, Bobby Thomson, a few common Pre-War players, etc. When I got the letters, there were unadvertised signed handwritten letters from Tommy Bond (first pitching triple crown winner in 1877) and Jack Glasscock (4 pages). The Bond letter, written to Ford Frick, described the uniforms players wore in the 1870s and thanked Frick for a pass. Included was a carbon copy of Frick's earlier letter to Bond. It took me a while to figure out what was the Glasscock letter. The letter was the longest, Glasscock's writing was messy and dense and he didn't sign it at the end (he signed within the regular text), so I put it off for last inspection. I lay down on a couch and started looking it over. When I saw the writer mention playing dates like 1887 and 1890, I thought "What a second, here." |

One of my very first purchases on Ebay was an antique cookie tin for 99 cents. I opened it up and found two "Honus Wagner" cigarette cards. Also included in the tin was a "Babe Ruth" card. It had him standing there and it had a pretty blue border to it. I think it said "Read The Baltimore News" on the back. There was also a very small card of a man named simply "Plank". It was a close up shot of him and he had an "A" on his jersey (it looked like a portrait as opposed to some action shot) with a pretty blue background. I think later on down the road I'll put these up on Ebay when I run into "financial difficulties which force me to sell." Until then, they'll be in my grandpa's attic... |

I'm not sure if this applies but I once bought a raw T206 SLer for 30 bucks that from the iffy scans looked perfect. I assumed it was trimmed. I then traded that card for a Matty PSA 4. |
