I was digging around and stumbled upon this. Not a ball player but, nevertheless, kind of neat if you're into music.

No, that was Dana Carvey. Did you know he sang that song on his very first episode of SNL? (Sigourney Weaver hosted and introduced the new cast). But you knew I would know that.

Actually, he was the inventor of the "Chopin Liszt" for groceries.

Cool card, nice find. Easily one of the largest tobacco premiums ever issued. They were made from roughly 1894-1907 the production includes about 8000-9000 different subjects with many variations if one was to collect all the variations you could have an issue of cards numbering well over 20,000+. I’ve been collecting them for a while the first in the series of 200+ can be seen on my site in the non-sports section.

Beethoven's gone but his music lives on,
And Mozart don't go shoppin' no more,
You'll never meet Liszt or Brahms again,
And Elgar doesn't answer the door.
Schübert and Chopin used to chuckle and laugh,
Whilst composing a long symphony,
But one hundred and fifty years later,
There's very little of them left to see.

They're decomposing composers,
There's nothing much anyone can do,
You can still hear Beethoven,
But Beethoven cannot hear you.

Händel and Haydn and Rachmaninov,
Enjoyed a nice drink with their meal,
But nowadays no-one will serve them,
And their gravy is left to congeal.
Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds,
With their highly original sound,
The pianos they played are still working,
But they're both six feet underground.

They're decomposing composers,
There's less of them every year,
You can say what you like to Debussy,
But there's not much of him left to hear.

Claude Achille Debussy, died 1918.
Christophe Willebaud Gluck, died 1787.
Carl Maria von Weber, not at all well
1825, died 1826.
Giacomo Meyerbeer, still alive 1863, not still alive 1864.
Modeste Mussorgsky, 1880 going to parties,
no fun anymore 1881.
Johan Nepomuck Hummel, chatting away nineteen to the
dozen with his mates down the pub every
evening 1836, 1837 nothing.

VAM Francs?

Actually, I believe Chopin was Polish but I couldn't spell VAM Zlotych to save my life.

Nice card. There are alot of interesting cards in the Ogden tobacco cards. Harry Houdini's rookie card comes from the 1902 B series Ogden cards.

Are you sure that it's Houdini's rookie card? Weren't there a few before that or would those be considered his minor league cards (from which I understand don't count as his rookie)....

It's the earliest Houdini card that I'm aware of. Let me know if there's a card made earlier. I believe he's around 28 years of age on the 1902 Ogden.
