SMOLIN AUCTION ENDS TOMORROW

I have checked the current bid levels on the Old Judge cards in this auction and there are some bargains to be had. Although a few of the lots are mine, so some of this is self serving, there are many that are not and are just cards that I have. For those on the board who collect Old Judge I would suggest that you check it out---I don't think you will be sorry.

Goody!

Mastro has a whole bunch of great stuff (though no Mayos, and no Pud Galvins--or did I miss something?).
That I can't afford, rich or poor...

I was at the bookstore last night and found that "Pud" Galvin's name is short for "Pudding". He got the nickname because he made the opposing batters look like "Pudding", which was a 19th century slang term for "Dud".

of an English king,
many long years ago,
who ruled the land with an iron hand
though his mind was weak and low.
He loved to hunt the royal stag
all in the royal wood
but better than that he loved to sit
and pound the royal...

Pudding, huh? I've lost friends over baseball players' nicknames. Like, I thought "Pee Wee Reese" just meant marble...so he thought I was telling him a childish dirty joke...Ah, Frank Barning.

This same old story
a king without glory
the bards of old would tell:
a baseball fan, though half a man
we endured his reign of hell
He played the game wherever he came
with never time to slumber
through countryside both far and wide
sch-winging the royal.....
