Could I please ask you a quick question. One of the most well known models made by Joseph Kren's bat company in Syracuse was the Dick Porter model.
Can you make out any of the wording on the center label and/or barrel of the bat? Is that a Dick Porter signature model?
Thanks and congrats Leon!

Thanks for the congrats, Greg. Unfortunately the label can't be read on the bat, even under lighted magnification. It's just not that sharp. I very much believe this was a premium card of sometime. There are no rough edges where it would have been torn from a pamphlet. It definitely has that smooth, old patina/gloss feel too. I am very happy about it...
edited to add that I was contacted by another board member who has one of these...same card, and he says yes, definitely a card but knows of no other players in the set
