Ernie Koob by Charles Conlon

I was successful at picking up an original 1917 Charles Conlon photo of St. Louis Browns pitcher Ernie Koob.
Ernie Koob is credited with being part of a MLB first:

On May 5th, 1917 Koob no-hit Eddie Cicotte and the visiting CWS 1-0.
St. Louis hurler Bob Groom repeated the feat by no-hitting the White Sox the following day in the 2nd game of a double header 3-0. This was the first time that no-hitters were pitched in consecutive days in the same series.

This is a definite rarity, as it has only occurred twice since:
HOF Gaylord Perry and Ray Washburn did it on 9/17/68 and 9/18/68 respectively @ San Francisco.
Jim Maloney and Don Wilson also repeated this on 4/30/69 and 5/1/69 @ Cincinnati.

One definite regret is not winning the Harvey Haddix action photo that appears on this 1961 Topps card. I thought the auction was over and I had won, so I went to bed. The next day I was shocked when I discovered that someone else managed to outbid me. Bummer!
Oh well, I won one of the two that I was going after...
Someone added a nice photo to their collection.
