Wow, never heard the Pinkertons referred to as W530s before. You learn something new every day.

My parent's families are all Northwest WI area.
The 1910 Minneapolis Millers (106-71) were revered back in the day;
Gavvy Cravath powered that team.
This T206 Cycle Back is nice to have in the Family Collection.
... even nicer,
with the "Jeff B' back stamp.

Thank you Luke for offering him up.

I didn't know that Jeff Beck collected old baseball cards.

Plus, I did not realize that Beck's real name was Burdick.

There are some off the charts great cards in this thread. Thanks for sharing!

This Swift's Variety Shop is the only one of Plank I have seen. It's in a nice CGC holder now, with the mention of the back.

Thank you for sharing Leon.
I understand better now; the Barry (World Champs), Swift's backstamp (ala Connie) that I had (and sold, umph). I could never quite figure that one out; makes more sense now.

I was always a fan of T-5 's and The Collins T-5; variant That Leon posted I owned for over 40 years. But I never understood the half a scorecard backs of these W530's . Basicly useless keeping score of one team during a game. I still remember the first time I saw one at a show ( mid 1970's) I was excited until I turned it over.. thought about it and put it down. It just struck me as "off". I thought that one day I would find a complete one with both sides of the scorecard. Must have been issued by someone who didn't understand the game.
Now 50 plus years later I appreciate them for what they are. Thanks for sharing.
