1923 was not an especially prolific year for baseball card issues. Here's a tough 1923 card of Sam Rice and a Canadian card of Herold "Muddy" Ruel, who became a key player for the Senators after being acquired, as George mentioned in the above post, from the Red Sox in early 2023. Ruel batted .316 in 136 games in 1923, and this was his highest batting average during his 19 year MLB career.
I just remembered I have and have added a 1923 Willard's Chocolate of Allen Russell, the other player George mentioned that the Senators acquired in 1923 from the Red Sox. Russell had one of the best years of his 11-year MLB career in 1923, with a 10-7 W-L record, a 3.03 ERA, and a Major-League-leasing 9 saves (Clark Griffith was one of the earliest to gravitate to the heavy use of relief pitchers - Russell started only 5 of the 52 games in which he appeared).
