George, I'm lovin' your gorgeous 1933 Goudey of Sam Rice! Here's a few more tidbits about Sam:
< He missed all but 7 games in 1918, which would have been his second "full year" (600+ plate appearances), due to being drafted into the military for WW1. Hence, his second full year was in 1919 at age 29!
< His last "full year" was 1930 at age 40, in which Sam had 207 base hits and batted .349, the second highest average of his career (he hit .350 in 1925).
< Rice had 19 World Series hits, which puts him at 3,006 total hits for his MLB career.
